Fissions

Many more fissions means much more fission products, including cesium You do the math. ❋ Marvin Resnikoff (2011)

When reviewing video tapes of the live BP feeds, one can see in the tapes of mid-June that there is oil spewing up from visible fissions. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Over the next couple of years, much was made of the fissions and cracks that were beginning to show on the surface of evangelicalism, most often along the lines that the Pew Forum survey highlighted. ❋ Unknown (2010)

On Easter Sunday in 2006, Michael Luo published an essay in The New York Times that shed light on what then were growing fissions between evangelicals. ❋ Unknown (2010)

These reactors exploit the improved efficiency, in terms of fission, of neutrons that maintain the speed acquired from previous fissions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

When the nucleus of a 235U atom captures a neutron it splits in two (fissions), releases energy in the form of heat, and emits two or three neutrons. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A thorium reactor would work by having Th-232 capture a neutron to become Th-233 which decays to uranium-233, which then fissions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Some are captured but the others go on to cause fissions at the rate of about 400 per source proton (at 97% of criticality). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Plutonium can be used on its own in fast neutron reactors, where the Pu-240 also fissions, and so functions as a fuel (along with U-238). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Shoot the cue ball - a stray neutron - and the cluster breaks apart, or fissions. ❋ Richard Martin (2009)

The fast reactor has no moderator and uses plutonium as its basic fuel since it fissions sufficiently with fast neutrons to keep going. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The most common isotope of uranium is bombarded with neutrons to produce plutonium that fissions, if we can generate a verb from the energy of splitting atoms. ❋ Don Delillo (2008)

It's impossible to deny the obvious pleasure that Godard takes in these abstractions, as when he cuts between a closeup of Juliette and an increasingly zoomed-in view of a cup of coffee: quick, perfunctory shots of the film's star, followed by long, lingering gazes into the depths of the coffee, finding odd spiraling patterns like galaxies and bubbling supernova fissions within the liquid's smooth black surface. ❋ Ed Howard (2008)

SHEINKOPF: Huckabee is hurting McCain by his very prescience every day because he is making sure the fissions in that party remain very real and very raw and that's the problem. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The difficulty is that, if you try to fuse helium, you get beryllium-8, which almost immediately fissions back into two helium nuclei. ❋ James Killus (2007)
