Calcium-48 is used to produce heavy elements. A research facility uses a particle accelerator that can accelerate a proton to 50 MeV to fire a beam of calcium ions at a target. 1) What is the heaviest stable isotope that the ions in the beam could fuse with? 2) Assuming the two nuclei fuse; what isotope is formed in this reaction? 3) Consider this same system with the isotope Calcium-40 instead. What isotope would the fusion produce? 4) Why is Calcium-48 used for this purpose?
The naturally occurring radioactive isotope 232Th does not make good fission fuel, because it has an even number of neutrons; however, it can be bred into a suitable fuel (much as 238U is bred into 239P ). Confirm that the final nucleus has an odd number of neutrons, making it a better fission fuel.
