This book presents the latest results of experimental and theoretical studies of fission and fusion-fission dynamics from low to intermediate energies. It covers new results on the synthesis of superheavy elements and the decay of complex nuclear systems, binary and ternary fission, fragmentation, the decay of hot nuclei, and the nuclear structure of neutron-rich nuclei. It also discusses some questions concerning the incineration and transmutation of actinides from nuclear waste. Graduate students and researchers can use this book to review recent progress and explore future directions in...

Covers both experimental and theoretical issues of nuclear fission.
