Reply to comment by bikedork5000 in If nuclear fission in U-235 causes the atom to be split into 2 smaller atoms (such as Kr-92 and Ba-141) then how is it that U-236 is produced as waste since the U-235 was just split into smaller peices? by Ian98766

I feel like what you just said was so painfully obvious but it just never occurred to me the temperature would fluctuate so much at the atomic level but reading what you said makes perfect sense. Thank you for that
