Has Moses really ever exploded?
If so how severe was it?
Was anyone harmed?
What cause the explosion?
Did the explosion process involve a Fission Reaction?
What can we do to prevent it from happening again?
----The Nuclear Fission Reaction----
Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more parts. When such an occurrence takes place, a very large amount of energy is released. This can occur very quickly as in an atomic bomb, or in a more controlled manner allowing the energy to be captured for useful purposes. Only a few naturally occurring substances are easily fissionable. These include uranium-235 and plutonium-239, two isotopes of uranium and plutonium. Isotopes are forms of the same chemical element that have the same number of protons in their nuclei, but a different number of neutrons.
Starting a fission reaction is accomplished by bombarding fissionable nuclei with neutrons. This causes the nuclei to fly apart, splitting into two fission prod
hey thanks so much for commenting on my bands page or else i would never have had the chance to listen to you guys. its pretty cool. real smooth but still strong. i like it
