Source sentences:
text: Criticality occurs when sufficient fissile material (a critical mass) accumulates in a small volume such that each fission, on average, produces a neutron that in turn strikes another fissile atom causing another fission; this causes the chain reaction to become self-sustaining within the mass of material.
text: The fission produces more neutrons that can induce other isotopes to undergo nuclear fission.
text: Most fission produces neutrons, although the number varies with each fission.
text: Most fission produces neutrons, although the number varies with each fission.
text: Continuous operation depends on each fission producing neutrons for the next fissions.
text: An operating reactor is a powerful source of radiation, since fission and subsequent radioactive decay produce neutrons and gamma rays, both of which are highly penetrating radiations.
text: Only neutrons can result in a sustained reaction because fission further produces neutrons only.
text: Also, fission produces more neutrons than what can be consumed.
