Due to physical limitations of materials and motors, limiting the maximum speed of rotation of the blades, these devices are only useful for relatively slow neutrons.

His discovery of the neutron made it possible to produce elements heavier than uranium in the laboratory by the capture of slow neutrons followed by beta decay.
33.
By measuring the rate at which slow neutrons return to the probe after reflecting off of hydrogen nuclei, a neutron probe may determine the water content in soil.
34.
Other notable figures includes the physicist Enrico Fermi who discovered Fermi Dirac statistics, described beta decay, established the properties of slow neutrons, and constructed the first atomic pile.
35.
Nothing smaller than uranium undergoes fission by slow neutrons, and only specific isotopes of uranium even do that .-- Fastfission 14 : 42, 20 July 2006 ( UTC)

The article may be renamed though to somewhat like " Slow neutrons based nuclear explosion " or something .-- Dojarca 17 : 15, 24 September 2007 ( UTC)
37.
In Rome in 1934, they made the famous discovery of slow neutrons which later made possible the nuclear reactor, and then the construction of the first atomic bomb.
38.
Most of these models were still under the assumption that the bombs would be powered by slow neutron reactions and thus be similar to a reactor undergoing a meltdown.
39.
This inspired Enrico Fermi to investigate the nuclear reactions brought about by collisions of nuclei with slow neutrons, work for which Fermi would receive the Nobel Prize in 1938.
40.
By measuring the ratio of intermediate-speed neutrons to the fast and slow neutrons, the researchers were able to determine that hydrogen is present in the lunar soil, Binder said.
