Brookhaven Intern Caroline Sears Analyzes Nuclear Fission Yields The Smith College undergraduate is investigating what happens when the nucleus of an atom is split reaction dynamics that are relevant to designing and operating nuclear reactors Caroline Sears, a rising junior at Smith College in Massachusetts, is completing a remote internship at Brookhaven Lab s National Nuclear Data Center. A chart of fission fragment yields of U-235. The colors correspond to how often the particular fission product is produced. From the NuDat database on the NNDC website (the website version is interactive: https://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nudat2/reColor.jsp?newColor=235ufy). A simplified graph plotting the yield of the silver-113 (Ag-113) fission fragment of U-238 over a range of neutron energies. The lines and curves running through the data points correspond to different regression techniques: the teal curve fits the data to a parabola; the purple line fits the data to a line; and the dotted black
