Sentence examples for nuclides from inspiring English sources

Even when the worst nuclides are filtered out, TEPCO will face huge opposition with plans to dump the water into the Pacific.Then there is the ice wall.

This "pairing energy" accounts in part for the difference in behaviour of nuclides in which fission can be induced with slow (low-energy) neutrons and those that require fast (higher-energy) neutrons.

(These nuclides, however, require a relatively high activation energy to undergo fission).

(Extinct radioactivities are nuclides that have nearly completely decayed into their daughter elements).

Nuclides are commonly expressed in the form A/ZX, where A denotes the total number of protons and neutrons, Z represents the number of protons, and the difference between A and Z is the number of neutrons.

More than 200 of the stable nuclides were discovered by the British physicist Francis William Aston using his new invention of the mass spectrograph.

— Patrick Farrell Wired.com: Everything you never wanted to know about the stuff that resides in tap water: radio-nuclides (U-238, folks), lead (from primordial pipes) and laxative sulfates, not to mention bromates (potential carcinogens).

The total yield for any nuclide in the isobaric decay chain is the sum of its independent yield and the independent yields of all of its precursors in the chain.

Knowing the rate of decay of one nuclear species (nuclide) into another, scientists can, in principle, use the ratios of decay products as a clock to measure the time elapsed since the rock cooled.

Within each series, therefore, the mass number of the members may be expressed as four times an appropriate integer (n) plus the constant for that series; thus, the thorium series is sometimes called the 4n series; the neptunium series, 4n + 1; the uranium series, 4n + 2; and the actinium series, 4n + 3. The thorium series begins with thorium-232 and ends with the stable nuclide lead-208.

To be regarded as distinct a nuclide must have an energy content sufficient for a measurable lifetime, usually more than 10−10 second.
