Scientific paper

The possibility of a fission chain reaction is discussed for the purpose of explaining the discrepancy between the observed light intensity of supernova type I in its decaying stage and the amount of energy available from the spontaneous fission of Cf254. A convergent fission chain reaction would make the energy output many times larger while at the same time would keep the half-life of the light intensity curve the same as that of the spontaneous fission of Cf254. However, the necessary conditions for this mechanism to contribute appreciably to the energy source do not seem to exist in supernova type I; other mechanisms are required to explain the discrepancy.
