This database, also known as EXFOR library, contains an extensive compilation of experimental nuclear reaction data, comprising data from more than 22,000 experiments. Neutron reactions have been ...

Example nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei.

Uranium enrichment, for example, transforms uranium-238 ... is what makes nuclear weapons so powerful. In a nuclear reactor, this reaction is controlled to produce energy in a stable manner.

An international team of researchers led by the University of Surrey has successfully measured a nuclear reaction that plays a critical role in the formation of the universe’s heaviest elements.
