Example sentencesExamples
Much to Fermi's surprise, the slow neutrons were extremely effective in the production of nuclear reactions.
The probe contains a source of fast neutrons, and the gauge monitors the flux of slow neutrons scattered by the soil.
In a series of experiments, he also found that slow neutrons were efficient agents of nuclear transformations and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938.
The safe operation of a reactor requires that the multiplication of slow neutrons be controlled throughout the fission cycle.
The first genuine transuranic element was discovered at Berkeley, where Edwin McMillan used Lawrence's cyclotron in 1939 to bombard uranium with slow neutrons.
In contrast, uranium 238 has an even number of neutrons and slow neutron bombardment does not cause fission.
