neutron capture

On the other hand, these very high energy neutrons are less likely to simply neutron capture.

The plutonium-241 is formed in any nuclear reactor by neutron capture from uranium-238.

The room was built in the 1960's specifically for the early trials of neutron capture therapy.

Pioneers method of neutron capture and later through other nuclear reactions.

The children are growing positively charged nuggets through neutron capture."

Trace quantities are found in nature from neutron capture by uranium atoms.

However a nuclear weapon explosion can produce some plutonium-244 by rapid successive neutron capture.

Neutron capture plays an important role in the cosmic nucleosynthesis of heavy elements.

However, the neutron capture cross section of U is low, and this process does not happen quickly in a thermal reactor.

Protactinium-233 is formed upon neutron capture by Th.

In neutron capture therapy, a binary system uses two separate components for a therapeutic effect.

More recently, such observations provided evidence that elements were being formed by neutron capture in the s-process.

Neutron capture can produce much higher energies than the neutron's original kinetic energy.

Neutron capture inside the reactor diverts much of the xenon-135 that would otherwise decay to Cs-135.

They planned to separate and store protactinium-233, so it could decay to uranium-233 without being destroyed by neutron capture in the reactor.

Fusion involves combining particles together; so does neutron capture.

This means that neutron capture cannot be used to create nuclides with a mass number greater than 257, unless carried out in a nuclear explosion.

Especially the concentration of some of the rare earth elements needs to be kept low, as they have a large cross section for neutron capture.

Boron neutron capture therapy is another, medical use.

The future of boron neutron capture therapy is unlikely to depend upon nuclear reactors.

This is before accounting for the effects of any subsequent neutron capture, e.g.:

The motivation for these experiments was that synthesis of such elements from uranium requires multiple neutron capture.

Topics ranged from boron neutron capture therapy as a possible cancer treatment to nuclear reactor safety.

As development on neutron capture therapy continued, radioactive isotopes such as uranium-235 were investigated.

Thus the neutron capture, even after any intermediate decay, often results in the formation of an unstable activation product.
