Source sentences:
text: These neutrons produced in these collisions can be absorbed by nitrogen-14 to produce an isotope of carbon-14:
text: Such an interaction could simply result in the Neutron being absorbed.
text: Conversely, if the control rods are removed, fewer neutrons are absorbed, and the fission rate and energy production increase.
text: The fast neutrons are absorbed or slowed by the nuclei of a graphite moderator, which allows just enough slow neutrons to continue the fission chain reaction at a constant rate.
text: Prompt neutrons will be absorbed almost immediately.
text: In the s-process, neutrons are captured one at a time to form a neutron-rich nuclide that has enough time to undergo - or �sup>--decay before another neutron can be absorbed.
text: Thus, neutrons are slowly absorbed, one at a time, until we reach 127Te, which decays to 127I, the most abundant isotope of iodine.
text: The units with which this measurement is made can be understood by thinking about the area around the nuclide through which the neutron can pass and still be absorbed.
text: With this design, when the rods are inserted into the reactor from the uppermost position, the graphite parts initially displace some water (which absorbs neutrons, as mentioned above), effectively causing fewer neutrons to be absorbed initially.
text: Prompt neutrons will be absorbed almost immediately.
text: If however there is a large mass of more concentrated fuel, a larger number of neutrons will impinge on more fissile atoms triggering yet more fissions in a chain of events creating more neutrons as each neutron is absorbed.
