derive their destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy...

that nuclear fission is a natural process. If something as intricate as life can assemble by accident, we need not marvel at the fission reactor, a relatively...

door] [The cartoon character Smilin' Joe Fission informs Bart's class about nuclear energy.] Smilin' Joe Fission: Uh-oh. Whoops. Looks there's a little...

responsible for radioactive decay, which plays an essential role in nuclear fission. It appears that the strong interactions and electromagnetic interactions...

more than ten times as much energy as the nuclear reactions of fusion and fission that cause our sun to shine and our hydrogen bombs to explode. Rutherford's...

exactly why it was nonsense. … The wholly unexpected discovery of uranium fission in 1939 made possible such absurdly simple (in principle, if not in practice)...

Institute of Physics. 1946. p. 248.  Professor Meitner stated that nuclear fission could be attributed to chemistry. I have to make a slight correction. Chemistry...

technical application: The discovery of electrons led to electronics; fission led to nuclear energy. But before the 1880's, science played almost no...

heard it. In this day and time, if we believe for one second that nuclear fission and fusion, that type of weapon, would be used in such a war — what is...

Perch: Wait, did that kid just separate into two organisms via binary fission? [another one splits and spins away] Ice Cream King: I've been bicycle...

have ever existed in all the earth's history, the by-products of atomic fission. The stark problem that faces him is whether he can dispose of these lethal...

can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything—you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is...

experiment, I knew why Joliot has missed the neutron, why his wife missed the fission, why they succeeded in having artificial radioactivity, and even why they...

That mass of circuits, my dear fellow, is as revolutionary as nuclear fission. No more wastage in schools: there's no more tedious learning by rote....

mean like a living nuclear bomb? Barry: You know. Stein: Unstable nuclear fission was always a danger in the transmutation process. Plus, you all argue very...

accelerator-driven subcritical reactor. This is where you take a nuclear reactor, a fission reactor. In the core, instead of having uranium, it has an element called...

like when you play Civilization against someone who researches nuclear fission before they've discovered the wheel. Because of this, you can pack up all...

supplies of cheap fossil fuels. Even the applied technology of atomic fission, which came along in the mid-[20th-]century, would have been impossible...
