In addition to the hazards already described , handling of the enriched uranium presents a criticality hazard : if too large amounts of enriched uranium are accumulated in one place , uncontrolled chain reactions can occurcausingheavy releases of neutron and gamma radiation
These undergo fissioncreatingalpha particles , lithium nuclei , gamma rays , and excess kinetic energy

Like enriched uranium , plutonium presents a criticality hazard : if too large amounts are accumulated in one place , uncontrolled chain reactions can occurcausingheavy releases of neutron and gamma radiation
less expensive , more efficient waysto createnanomaterials and lithium - ion batteries
an excellent radiation shield -- specifically the heavy water that the core is contained inpreventsneutron and gamma radiation from escaping
to save costs , time and energywhen creatingnanomaterials and lithium - ion batteries
Like many of the transuranic isotopes that are n’t considered fissile , 238Pu does undergo some spontaneous fission ,causinga small amount of gamma and neutron radiation
Like uranium oxide fuel , MOX fuel presents a criticality hazard : if too large amounts are accumulated in one place , uncontrolled chain reactions can occurcausingheavy releases of neutron and gamma radiation
