Reply to comment by RobusEtCeleritas in If nuclear fission in U-235 causes the atom to be split into 2 smaller atoms (such as Kr-92 and Ba-141) then how is it that U-236 is produced as waste since the U-235 was just split into smaller peices? by Ian98766

Is this basically how they make plutonium? And afterwards if it's all mixed together and more or less stable they separate it chemically?
