Nuclear Binding Energy Curve (2D)

2D interactive binding-energy-per-nucleon curve built from real experimental nuclide data. Click any isotope to inspect its mass number and B/A, or pick a fusion or fission reaction and compute the real energy released from the curve's own values.

This is the 2D counterpart to the 3D binding-energy curve simulator. It evaluates the same Bethe–Weizsäcker semi-empirical mass formula independently here, but instead of an orbiting 3D scene it gives you a flat, click-driven B/A-vs-A curve seeded with real notable isotopes (from hydrogen-1 to uranium-238) and a genuine fusion/fission energy-release calculator that reads actual B/A values off the curve for each reaction to compute the real MeV released — the same arithmetic used to explain why fusing light nuclei or splitting heavy ones both release energy, and why iron-56 and nickel-62 sit at the top of the curve where neither is possible.

⚙ Under the hood

Click-driven 2D binding-energy-per-nucleon curve built from the Bethe-Weizsacker semi-empirical mass formula and seeded with 27 real notable isotopes from hydrogen-1 to plutonium-239. Click any point to inspect its real mass number, proton number and B/A, then pick a real fusion or fission reaction and compute the actual MeV released straight off the curve's own values.
