Fissile in a sentence

Implosion-type bombs were determined to be significantly more efficient in terms of explosive yield per unit mass of fissile material in the bomb, because compressed fissile materials react more rapidly and therefore more completely.

In May 1995, NPT parties reaffirmed their commitment to a Fissile Materials Cut-off Treaty to prohibit the production of any further fissile material for weapons.

The Basin that hosts the Daisy Creek project covers about 18 square miles and is mostly composed of fissile, finely laminated sediments.

So, the next administration is going to have to find a way to engage this, because the production of 60% enriched uranium gives them the capacity, at least in terms of fissile material, to produce multiple weapons’ worth of material on very short order.

A minideal could involve any number of activities related to freezing or destroying fissile material and facilities, dismantling Yongbyon, or verifiably closing underground nuclear test sites and missile test facilities.

Analysts suggested the country might start enriching uranium to 20% concentration, which would shorten its so-called "break-out time" - the time required for it to produce enough fissile material for a bomb if it chose to do so.

A treaty extension could help put pressure on China to provide more information about its nuclear weapons and fissile material stockpiles.

He did not specify what Iran's next step would be, but Tehran warned last month it could reactivate centrifuge machines and ramp up enrichment of uranium to 20 per cent fissile purity.

Sandvich is loose cannonaungen: Fissile: They sent me home with 3 days worth of tramadol after I had my bypass surgery.

The deal as a whole is designed to keep Iran a year away from producing enough fissile material for a bomb if it chose to.

While negotiations stalled, North Korea is believed to have continued to produce fissile materials.

A collision with orbital debris, material failure due to uncontrolled fission, material imperfections or fatigue, or human design flaws could cause a containment breach of the fissile material.

A few weeks later, Teller suggested placing a fissile rod or cylinder at the center of the fusion fuel.

All fissionable and fissile isotopes undergo a small amount of spontaneous fission which releases a few free neutrons into any sample of nuclear fuel.

Another, more recent approach, centers on 'capping' the production of fissile material for weapons purposes, which would hopefully be followed by 'roll back'.

A portion of these neutrons may later be absorbed by other fissile atoms and trigger further fission events, which release more neutrons, and so on.

Boosting main Before detonation, a few grams of tritium-deuterium gas are injected into the hollow " pit " of fissile plutonium or uranium.

By November 1954, it had become clear that the Soviet Union would reject any international custody of fissile material, but that a clearing house for nuclear transactions might be possible.

During World War II, the availability of abundant TVA electrical power led the Manhattan Project to locate one of the principal sites for production and isolation of weapons-grade fissile material in East Tennessee.

For a given mass of fissile material the value of k can be increased by increasing the density.
