  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002777",
  "term": "Cumulative fission yield",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The total fraction of fissions that lead to the formation of a specific nuclide, either directly as a primary fission product or indirectly through the decay of its precursors in a fission product decay chain. This value accounts for all pathways leading to the final stable or long-lived product. It is a key parameter in nuclear fuel analysis and radioactive waste management.",
