| 1. | The high spontaneous fission rate of californium-252 was observed in these samples.
|
| 2. | Later, the discovery of spontaneous fission was confirmed by Otto Robert Frisch.
|
| 3. | In May 1940, they were confident that they had discovered spontaneous fission.
|
| 4. | All these isotopes are characterized by high rates of spontaneous fission.
|
| 5. | What had not been suspected was its high spontaneous fission rate.
|
| 6. | Most of these decay predominantly through alpha decay, but some also undergo spontaneous fission.
|
| 7. | The fraction of atoms undergoing spontaneous fission ( SF ) is given in green.
|
| 8. | A fourth decay by direct spontaneous fission was also proposed.
|
| 9. | Its spontaneous fission ruled out the use of plutonium in a gun-type nuclear weapon.
|
| 10. | One possible neutron source is californium-252 which undergoes spontaneous fission.
