Isotopes and Radioactivity
Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; the different possible versions of each element are called isotopes. For example, the most common isotope of hydrogen has no neutrons ...
High Flux Isotope Reactor Facility
The reactor produces californium-151 and other transuranium isotopes for research, industrial, and medical applications. A description of the reactor and experimental facilities is given. For ...
Nuclear Isotope Half-Lifes
The site demonstrates the half-life of ten basic nuclei and you can add or subtract a proton or a neutron to the current isotope.
Hyperphysics - Isotopes
Description of the notation used for different isotopes and the properties of the nucleus with good links to other sites.
The Isotopes Project Homepage
A page with links to many specialized pages connected to nuclear isotopes.
The Isotope Separator On-line (ISOL) at GSI
The Isotope Separator On-Line is an instrument to prepare specific reaction products out of the bulk of products formed in fusion, fission, or multi-nucleon transfer reactions.
Berkeley Laboratory Isotopes Table
An in depth site based around isotopes. Also links to nuclear science sites
Heavy Water Production - Nuclear Weapons
Heavy water, D1O, is water in which both hydrogen atoms have been replaced with deuterium, the isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and one neutron. It is present naturally in water, but in only ...
Science Trek Applets
Applets demonstrating EM waves, Quantum Atoms, Polarization, the Periodic Table and Isotopes and Radioactivity all from the physics 1000 website
Fast Breeder Reactor
Under appropriate operating conditions, the neutrons given off by fission reactions can "breed" more fuel from otherwise non-fissionable isotopes. The most common breeding reaction is that of ...
