The general term for nuclides produced by nuclear fission. When a fissile atomic nucleus undergoes a fission reaction with a neutron, it usually splits into two medium mass nuclei, releasing 2-3 neutrons at the same time. The two nuclei directly produced are called fission fragments. Fission fragments generally contain too many neutrons and require a series of β- Stability can only be achieved after decay. Fission fragments and their decay products are called fission product. The probability of the formation of a certain fission product in the fission process is called the yield of the product.
