Their method, like that of existing reactors, is based on fission, or splitting heavy atoms, then using the resulting heat to spin turbines and make electricity.
On the other hand, its technology of production — based on fission — remains imperfect and generates risks for environment and health.
Both species have flexible social structures, based on fission-fusion dynamics with seasonal variation (Richner 1990; Braun et al. 2012).
To visualize variations in signal distinctness, we use network analyses based on split decomposition and split support spectra.
The CART algorithm recursively splits the data into two groups based on a splitting rule.
The present paper recommends a very simple countermeasure against hypothesis fishing, based on data splitting.
Birth rates are calculated based on the fission power in the experiment and fission product generation models.
Nuclear power is based on nuclear fission in which a large atom, usually of uranium, splits into two or more smaller fragments with the release of large quantities of energy.
Dr. Cowan began thinking about the possibility of a bomb in 1938, when he brought a clipping about nuclear fission to his physics professor and asked him to talk about the possibility of a weapon based on splitting the atom.
In this excerpt from Michael Frayn's play "Copenhagen" (courtesy Methuen), Werner Heisenberg, Niels Bohr and Bohr's wife, Margrethe, try to recall exactly how the shocking topic of weapons based on nuclear fission had come up in their conversation many years before.
