A nuclear fission reactor produced around 1020 electron antineutrinos per second. Fission of {{SimpleNuclide|uranium|235|link=yes}}, as well as {{SimpleNuclide|uranium|238|link=yes}},{{SimpleNuclide|plutonium|239|link=yes}} and {{SimpleNuclide|plutonium|241|link=yes}} produce neutron-rich daughter nuclides that rapidly undergo a series of additional beta decays, yielding about six electron antineutrino per fission.{{Cite journal |last=Lasserre |first=Thierry |last2=Sobel |first2=Henry W. |date=September 1, 2005 |title=Reactor neutrinos |url=https://comptes-rendus.academie-sciences.fr/physique/articles/10.1016/j.crhy.2005.08.002/ |journal=Comptes Rendus.
