As each uranium atom breaks apart, it shoots out neutrons that can go on to split other atoms. But the neutrons are much more likely to trigger new fission events if they are slowed down.

This electronic structure determines many of the defining characteristics of an atom or molecule, including their chemical, optical, and electrical properties. Latest Research and Reviews ...

When Israeli aircraft recently struck a uranium-enrichment complex in the nation, Iran could have been days away from achieving “breakout,” the ability to quickly turn “yellowcake” uranium ...

Enrichment is the process of altering the uranium atom to create nuclear fuel. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also said on Tuesday that his country does not need US permission to ...

--Standard Uranium Ltd. is pleased to announce that the winter drill program at its 100% owned Sun Dog Project has been completed and crews demobilized prior to ice road closure April 1 st. Sun ...

In 1913, only the barest outlines of the structure of the atom had been drawn. Frederick Soddy, although struggling to understand how an electron could be emitted from the nucleus during beta ...

The natural, porous structure of the cloth created many tiny pockets for the amidoxime to nestle in and easily trap the uranyl ions. In experiments, the researchers placed the coated cloth as a ...

A typical pile is a 20-foot block of graphite (pure carbon) interlarded with lumps of fissionable uranium. The chain begins with the capture of a neutron by a uranium atom.
