But existing reactors split the uranium using "thermal" neutrons.

The new ones would use "fast" neutrons, which travel thousands of times as fast.

Several centers around the world have used fast neutrons for treating cancer.

Instead of a sustaining chain reaction, a subcritical reactor uses additional neutrons from an outside source.

It is one of the world centres for research using neutrons.

Today, researchers use neutrons generated by the reactor to study material composition.

Smither suggested a method using neutrons as a "camera" to detect the existence of the painting.

A fast neutron reactor uses fast neutrons, so it does not use a moderator.

Homogeneous color can be produced if the treatment is performed artificially, using electrons, neutrons or gamma-rays.

It operates using cold neutrons, with a wavelength band of 0.2-2.0 nm.
