What elements are byproducts in a nuclear reactor?

River Vale

I am doing a science project, and I need to know what certain elements are byproducts of nuclear reactors. This would really help!

You are looking for a list of fission products. See the links. Most fission products are unstable and will decay into other elements, so your byproducts should include the fission products as well as the elements they decay into which are called "daughter products". Also, sometimes U235 absorbs a neutron but doesn't fission.

you can get depleted uranium/plutonium and steam radio active carbon rods and i suppose you could talk about the process to mine uranium a good website is www. wagingpeace. org/menu/issues/nuclea…
