Example types with fissioning
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Panel C shows, on the left side, a crypt fissioning into two crypts. (13 words)
The fissioning of elements like uranium-235 and plutonium-239 is caused by their absorption of neutrons. (17 words)
In large, megaton-range hydrogen bombs, about half of the yield comes from the final fissioning of depleted uranium. (19 words)
Subsequent studies in early 1939 (one of them by Szilárd and Fermi) revealed that several neutrons were also released during the fissioning, making available the opportunity for the nuclear chain reaction that Szilárd had envisioned six years previously. (38 words)
Crypts of the colon can reproduce by fission, as seen in panel C, where a crypt is fissioning to form two crypts, and in panel B where at least one crypt appears to be fissioning. (35 words)
Thus to slow down the secondary neutrons released by the fissioning uranium nuclei, Fermi and Szilard proposed a graphite "moderator," against which the fast, high-energy secondary neutrons would collide, effectively slowing them down. (34 words)
