NOTES<br />
1. When a U atom emits an alpha particle, if another U atom is<br />
nearby <strong>and</strong> the alpha particle collides with it, the atom splits,<br />
releasing energy <strong>and</strong> a neutron. If there are enough nearyb U<br />
atoms, the neutron collides with one of them, causing it to split,<br />
producing a chain reaction that releases economic quanities of<br />
energy <strong>and</strong> potentially destructive quantities of energy (i.e. it's<br />
fissile).
