2 Fission In symmetric fission, the nucleus of uranium (2*U) splits into two nuclei of palladium(9Pd). To a rough approximation, the nuclei of heavy atoms may be described as spheres with a uniform charge density of 1.33-1025 C/m. (This is a reasonable approximation, so far as their electrical structure is concerned.) The charge of the uranium nucleus is +92e. Compute the initial electrostatic energy of the uranium nucleus and the electrostatic energy of the fission fragments once they have moved...
