So FORTY POUNDSm was in fission. So "the rest is just there for chance" is total bullshit. It would not go critical without it, and the part that gets converted could never do so unless the atoms that ARE releasing the energy were not completely surrounded by similar material. There must be enough media there for the collisions to get going.

Do you know what "goes critical" means? The total mass, shape and density of the fissile material, convolved with the material's neutron cross section and the presence of neutron moderating and reflecting materials, affect the "chance" of an efficient fission occurring.

The idiot said that only a few nanogra,s get converted, and that the rest was "just there". He ain't real bright. He epitomizes the lay view. |
