In this reaction, a neutron plus a fissionable atom causes a fission resulting in a larger number of neutrons than the single one that was consumed in the initial reaction.

Hydrogen bombs use the energy from an initial fission explosion to create an even more powerful fusion explosion.

The energy given off during either nuclear fusion or nuclear fission is the difference between the binding energies of the " fuel ", i. e., the initial nuclide ( s ), and the fission or fusion products.

Meanwhile, inside the exploding bomb, the free neutrons released by fission carry away about 3 % of the initial fission energy.

The initial impetus behind the two-stage weapon was President Truman's 1950 promise to build a 10-megaton hydrogen superbomb as the U. S. response to the 1949 test of the first Soviet fission bomb.

If the perfect quantity of fuel were added to a slightly subcritical mass, to create a barely supercritical mass, the temperature of the assembly would increase to an initial maximum ( for example: 1 K above the ambient temperature ) and then decrease back to room temperature after a period of time, because fuel consumed during fission brings the assembly back to subcriticality once again.

* Nuclear reaction, a process in which nuclei or nuclear particles interact, resulting in products different from the initial ones ; see also nuclear fission and nuclear fusion

The neutrons result almost exclusively from the fission and fusion reactions, while the initial gamma radiation includes that arising from these reactions as well as that resulting from the decay of short-lived fission products.

For a reactor that is SCRAMed after holding a constant power level for an extended period ( greater than 100 hrs ), about 7 % of the steady-state power will remain after initial shutdown due to fission product decay.

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 %).

A few neutron-rich and short-lived initial fission products first decay by emitting a neutron.

Some of the nuclei resulting from the fission are radioactive isotopes with short half-lives, and nuclear reactions among them release additional neutrons after a long delay of up to several minutes after the initial fission event.

( 2003 ) indicates that: "( 1 ) there is an underlying unity of female lineages in India, indicating that the initial number of female settlers may have been small ; ( 2 ) the tribal and the caste populations are highly differentiated ; ( 3 ) the Austro-Asiatic tribals are the earliest settlers in India, providing support to one anthropological hypothesis while refuting some others ; ( 4 ) a major wave of humans entered India through the northeast ; ( 5 ) the Tibeto-Burman tribals share considerable genetic commonalities with the Austro-Asiatic tribals, supporting the hypothesis that they may have shared a common habitat in southern China, but the two groups of tribals can be differentiated on the basis of Y-chromosomal haplotypes ; ( 6 ) the Dravidian tribals were possibly widespread throughout India before the arrival of the Indo-European-speaking nomads, but retreated to southern India to avoid dominance ; ( 7 ) formation of populations by fission that resulted in founder and drift effects have left their imprints on the genetic structures of contemporary populations ; ( 8 ) the upper castes show closer genetic affinities with Central Asian populations, although those of southern India are more distant than those of northern India ; ( 9 ) historical gene flow into India has contributed to a considerable obliteration of genetic histories of contemporary populations so that there is at present no clear congruence of genetic and geographical or sociocultural affinities.

In a fission theory the preformation probability is the penetrability of the internal part of the barrier from the initial turning point R < sub > i </ sub > to the touching point R < sub > t </ sub >.

Lighter isotopes of technetium are almost never produced in fission because the initial fission products normally have a higher neutron / proton ratio than is stable for their mass range, and therefore undergo beta decay until reaching the ultimate product.

The primary decay modes before the most stable isotope, Pu-244, are spontaneous fission and alpha emission ; the initial mode after is beta emission.

In simpler term, Biotechnology is the research and development in the laboratory that involves bioinformatics for exploration, extraction, exploitation and production from any living organisms and any source of biomass by means of biochemical engineering where high value-added products could be planned ( reproduced by Biosynthesis, for example ), fore-casted, formulated, developed, manufactured and marketed for the purpose of sustainable operations ( for the return from bottomless initial investment on R & D ) and gaining durable patents rights ( for exclusives rights for sales, and prior to this to receive national and international approval from the results on animal experiment and human experiment, especially on the pharmaceutical branch of biotechnology to prevent any undetected side-effects on safety concerns by using the products ), for more about the biotechnology industry, see.

Here the analysis starts from the products, for example by splitting selected chemical bonds, to arrive at plausible initial reagents.

Radiation, therefore, is at an initial cost disadvantage even though only 1 to 10 per cent as much radiation energy as heat energy is required for radiopasteurization or radiosterilization.

Corroborating evidence ( in " corroboration ") is evidence that tends to support a proposition that is already supported by some initial evidence, therefore confirming the proposition.

However, is not a phoneme in Mandarin, which has no voiced plosives, therefore the initial voicing of is not significant to the Chinese listener.

These processes reduce the state of order of the initial systems, and therefore entropy is an expression of disorder or randomness.

Everything that has happened since has therefore been planned by God to help humanity overcome this initial mishap and achieve spiritual maturity.

Once a natural monopoly has been established because of the large initial cost and that, according to the rule of economies of scale, the larger corporation ( to a point ) has lower average cost and therefore a huge advantage.

KV is therefore the energy barrier associated with the magnetization moving from its initial easy axis direction, through a “ hard plane ”, to the other easy axis direction.

" A shift was, therefore, clearly visible among many Islamic movements in the post war period " from an initial Islamic ideological rejection of Saddam Hussein, the secular persecutor of Islamic movements, and his invasion of Kuwait to a more populist Arab nationalist, anti-imperialist support for Saddam ( or more precisely those issues he represented or championed ) and the condemnation of foreign intervention and occupation.

That means, define E ≤ F if E is an initial segment of F and the ordering of the members in E is the same as their ordering in F. If E is a chain in A, then the union of the sets in E can be ordered in a way that makes it a continuation of any set in E ; this ordering is a well ordering, and therefore, an upper bound of E in A.

The initial spontaneous emission is therefore amplified in the same manner as the signals, hence the term Amplified Spontaneous Emission.

Gilbert, Sullivan and Carte believed that this break ended the initial run, and, therefore, ended the company's rights.

The music is made up, therefore, of nothing more than the results of applying the phasing process to the initial twelve-note melody-as such, it is a piece of process music.

Another regional variation, especially popular in Canada, and therefore sometimes referred to as ' Canadian Rules ', is that if the partner of the dealer orders him / her up ( forcing the dealer to pick up the turned card ) during the initial bidding, then the dealer is automatically forced out, and the dealer's partner plays a lone hand.

Heat transfer is a path function ( or process quantity ), as opposed to a state quantity ; therefore, the amount of heat transferred in a thermodynamic process that changes the state of a system depends on how that process occurs, not only the net difference between the initial and final states of the process.
