Assertion: heavy water's neutron | /r/CapableOf | lose energy
Facets:
value: virtually
type: MANNER
value: in collisions with hydrogen atoms
type: TEMPORAL
Source sentences:
text: A moderator increases the power of the reactor by causing the fast neutrons that are released from fission to lose energy and become thermal neutrons.
text: Water is a much stronger neutron moderator because the hydrogen atoms found in water are much lighter than metal atoms, and therefore neutrons lose more energy in collisions with hydrogen atoms.
text: A collision of a neutron, which has mass of 1, with a 1H nucleus (a proton) could result in the neutron losing virtually all of its energy in a single head-on collision.
text: We can conclude the neutron interactions with billiard ball collision, where neutron attracts with nucleus of other atoms & lose energy.
