Since then, a very similar agreement was reached on February 13, 2007, that includes normalizing US-North Korean and Japanese-North Korean diplomatic ties on the condition that North Korea freeze its Yongbyon nuclear facility.

Since nuclear chain reactions only require natural materials ( such as water and uranium ), it is possible to have these chain reactions occur where there is the right combination of materials within the Earth's crust.

Since the probability per distance traveled for a neutron to collide with a nucleus is proportional to the material density, increasing the density of a fissile material can increase k. This concept is utilized in the implosion method for nuclear weapons.

Since 1960, the U. S. and Japan have maintained an agreement that allows the U. S. to secretly bring nuclear weapons into Japanese ports, and there is speculation ( see below ) that some nuclear weapons may be located in Okinawa.

Since the Soviets claimed to have first detected the new element they suggested the name kurchatovium, Ku, in honor of Igor Kurchatov ( 1903 – 1960 ), former head of Soviet nuclear research.

Since a nuclear explosion was used as the power source, the detector was destroyed during the experiment and the results therefore could not be confirmed.

Since man-made sources accounted for only 18 % of the total radiation exposure, most of which came from natural sources ( 82 %), medical X-rays only accounted for 10 % of total American radiation exposure ; medical procedures as a whole ( including nuclear medicine ) accounted for 14 % of total radiation exposure.

* Since 2005, Iran's nuclear program has become the subject of contention with the Western world due to suspicions that Iran could divert the civilian nuclear technology to a weapons program.

Since then, concern over nuclear weapons has shifted to the prevention of localized nuclear conflicts resulting from nuclear proliferation, and the threat of nuclear terrorism.

Since uranium and plutonium are nuclear weapons materials, there have been proliferation concerns.

Since the U-235 content of nuclear reactor fuel is reduced by fission, uranium recovered by nuclear reprocessing from spent nuclear reactor fuel made from natural uranium will have a lower-than-natural U-235 concentration.

Since all atoms vibrate proportionally to their absolute temperature, a thermal neutron has the best opportunity to fission U-235 when it is moving at this same vibrational speed.

Since the E1 component of nuclear EMP depends on the prompt gamma ray output, which was only 0. 1 % of yield in Starfish Prime but can be 0. 5 % of yield in pure fission weapons of low yield, a 10 kiloton bomb can easily be 5 x 8 % = 40 % as powerful as the 1. 44 megaton Starfish Prime at producing EMP.

Since the PORV was stuck open and the loss of coolant accident was still in progress, primary coolant with fission products and / or fuel was released, and ultimately ended up in the auxiliary building.

Since then, several groups have studied antimatter-catalyzed micro fission / fusion engines in the lab ( sometimes antiproton as opposed to antimatter ).

Since its inception as a nuclear facility Sellafield has also been host to a number of reprocessing operations, which separate the uranium, plutonium, and fission products from spent nuclear fuel.

Since cesium-137 is a fission product, it is an indicator of a nuclear fuel leak, but the consensus was that the cesium-137 probably leaked from defective fuel assemblies during or prior to 2001, when the last leak of that type was reported by Vermont Yankee.

Since 1996 he has been involved in a project on incineration of nuclear waste by spallation and fission reactions.

Since the nuclei that can readily undergo fission are particularly neutron-rich ( e. g. 61 % of the nucleons in uranium-235 are neutrons ), the initial fission products are almost always more neutron-rich than stable nuclei of the same mass as the fission product ( e. g. stable ruthenium-100 is 56 % neutrons ; stable xenon-134 is 60 %).

Since disposal of the fission products is dominated by the most radiotoxic fission product, Cesium 137, which has a half life of 30. 1 years, the result is to reduce nuclear waste lifetimes from tens of millennia ( from transuranic isotopes ) to a few centuries.

Since there is no way to contain or dispose of many fission products, politically imposed safety thresholds are often unenforceable.

Since a typical used nuclear fuel contains about 3 % fission products, one ton of used fuel will contain about 1. 9 kg of ruthenium.

Since these require a total of 3 or 4 thermal neutrons to eventually fission, and a thermal neutron fission generates only about 2 to 3 neutrons, these nuclides represent a net loss of neutrons.

Since sporulation affords bacteria much more protection from the outside environment than binary fission, it is thought that the evolution of this unusual life cycle may be in order to allow transfer of the bacteria from one host to another, and also provide protection during reproduction from the harsh environment of the digestive system.

Since the 1980s, Lennie Mace creates imaginative, ballpoint-only artwork of varying content and complexity, applied to unconventional surfaces including wood and denim.

Since most people, and most cultures, substantially agree about most pure ethical situations, casuistry often creates ethical arguments that can persuade people of different ethnic, religious and philosophical beliefs to treat particular cases in the same ways.

Since Lemony Snicket is both the fictional narrator of the stories as well as the author's pseudonym, it creates a false sense that the stories are written from truth.

Since the term value is understood in the LTV as denoting something created by labor, and its " magnitude " as something proportional to the quantity of labor performed, it is important to explain how the labor process both preserves value and adds new value in the commodities it creates.

Since the piston is the main reciprocating part of an engine, its movement creates an imbalance.

Since this creates a loss of power from the cavity which is greater than the gain it prevents the amplifier from acting as a laser.

Since the Elfstedentocht is such a rare event, its declaration creates excitement all over the country.

Since the evolution of a star is determined by its mass, the process influences the evolution of both companions, and creates stages that cannot be attained by single stars.

Since the presence of a reservation creates two zebra crossings there has to be total of four Belisha beacons.

Since the source is moving faster than the sound waves it creates, it actually leads the advancing wavefront.

Since the Pope creates new cardinals in the presence of the college, the consistory is where this takes place ( the last consistory for the creation of new cardinals took place on February 18, 2012 ).

Since his bride must love him willingly and none of the chosen maidens do, he eats each new bride they bring him, this creates a slight problem for the kingdom until a shepherd's daughter who spoke to the same crone is brought to marry him.

Since the normative, optimal decision often creates hypotheses for testing against actual behaviour, the two fields are closely linked.

Since the aldol addition reaction creates two new stereocenters, up to four stereoisomers may result.

Since in both countries, the Torrens title system of land registration is used, being registered as proprietor or as a mortgagee creates an indefeasible interest ( unless the acquisition of the registration was by land transfer fraud ).

Since a vortex is a rotating fluid that creates a low pressure zone at its centre, creating vortices lowers the overall local pressure of the air.

Since the Obelisk of the city is always associated with the night and entertainment of Buenos Aires, this project creates a zone similar to Times Square in New York and Picadilly Circus in London.

Since a separation of charges also creates an electric field, the buildup of charged carriers onto the cold side eventually ceases at some maximum value since there exists an equal amount of charged carriers drifting back to the hot side as a result of the electric field at equilibrium.

Since the thesis given by the Doctor goes that humanity as a whole thinks that a century begins with the centennial year, so the mass unconscious of humanity creates these heroes in the beginning moments of the centennial year.

Since orgasm control prolongs the experience of powerful sexual sensations occurring during the final build-up to orgasm, the physical demands of being kept or keeping oneself in this highly excited state for an extended time can induce a pleasurable, almost euphoric state, and at times creates changes within an individual's perceived consciousness.

Since the tickets cost little money to produce, and the prize expense has been set, the number of tickets sold creates little or no additional cost for the raffle holders.

Since MUC16 is highly glycosylated it creates a hydrophilic environment that acts as a lubricating barrier against foreign particles and infectious agents on the apical membrane of epithelial cells.

Since the Source engine uses portal based rendering to determine what is visible at any given time, this program creates the portals by dividing the map into convex regions with visibility data, like Quake-based engines do at a per-polygon level.

Since VPLS links multiple Ethernet broadcast domains together, it effectively creates a much larger broadcast domain.
