Day Engineering Milky Way Jewels, USA, Joined Nov 1998 40 Re: fisson process : what is the fission process for radioacive materials? . When the nucleus of an element disintgrates into two elements of lesser mass this is called fission. In the case of Uranium neutrons are released. Some basic web sites are: http://www.lbl.gov/abc/ http://library.thinkquest.org/17940/?tqskip=1 Lise Meitner discovered Fission and received the Nobel prize for this discovery. More information on her can be found at: http://www.users.bigpond.com/Sinclair/fission/ The most common use of fission in nondestructive testing is as a source of neutrons for neutron radiography.
