 Nuclear Fission Summary
1,093 words, approx. 4 pages The first splitting of an atom by John Douglas Cockroft and Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton in 1932 was a momentous occasion in physics. The two researchers found that the two helium atoms produced when a proton collides with a lithium nucleus have more... summary from source:
 Nuclear Fission Summary
657 words, approx. 2 pagesWhen a neutron strikes the nucleus of certain isotopes, the nucleus breaks apart into two roughly equal parts in a process known as nuclear fission. The two parts into which the nucleus splits are called fission products. In addition to fission... summary from source:
 Nuclear Fission Summary
3,822 words, approx. 13 pages Nuclear fission is a process in which a heavy nucleus—usually one with a nucleon number of two hundred or more—separates into two nuclei. Usually the division liberates neutrons and electromagnetic radiation and releases a substantial... summary from source:
 Nuclear Fission Summary
2,477 words, approx. 8 pagesNuclear fission is a process in which the nucleus of an atom splits, usually into two daughter nuclei. Spontaneous fission of uranium and other elements in Earth's interior provides an internal source of heat that drives plate tectonics. Fission... summary from source:
 Nuclear fission Information
5,208 words, approx. 17 pages
Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of an atom into parts (lighter nuclei) often producing photons (in the form of gamma rays), free neutrons and other subatomic particles as by-products. Fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction...

The Washington Post Is Earth's Core a Nuclear Fission Reactor?
03/24/2003: 1,115 words, approx. 4 pages Jules Verne thought you could get to the center of the Earth through the chimney of an extinct Icelandic volcano. At the bottom, he envisioned a vast inland sea -- really inland, as in 4,000 miles down -- and a bunch of dinosaurs. ... summary from source:
 AP Features Pilot of plane that dropped Hiroshima bomb dead at 92
11/2/2007: 1,079 words, approx. 4 pagesWhen Paul Tibbets enlisted in the Army Air Corps, nuclear fission had not even been discovered, but it would fall upon him to unleash its staggering power in war for the first time.If dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, weighed heavily on the pilot... summary from source:
Investor's Business Daily He Had Firm Grasp Of Physics
6/25/2007: 1,143 words, approx. 4 pagesWhen studying physics, Enrico Fermi was in his element.So much so, he has an element named after him.That would be fermium, the 100th element, called that in his honor by admiring colleagues.He is the namesake of the Fermi Institute on the campus of the University...
