- Fission. // American Heritage Student Science Dictionary;2009, p131
An encyclopedia entry for nuclear fission is presented. Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable atomic nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei. In nuclear reactors, the neutrons are slowed down or absorbed to control the reaction. In nuclear weapons, the chain reaction develops...

Quantum tunnelling through a potential barrier (such as occurs in nuclear fusion) is very sensitive to the detailed structure of the system and its intrinsic degrees of freedom. A strong increase of the fusion probability has been observed for heavy deformed nuclei. In light exotic nuclei such...
- thermonuclear. // Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary;2005, p2173
A definition on the term "thermonuclear" is presented. It refers to the atomic reactions, which result in the fission or fusion of nuclei and the release of large quantities of energy.
- On the path to fusion energy. Tabak, M. // European Physical Journal D -- Atoms, Molecules, Clusters & Opti;Nov2007, Vol. 45 Issue 2, p265
There is a need to develop alternate energy sources in the coming century because fossil fuels will become depleted and their use may lead to global climate change. Inertial fusion can become such an energy source, but significant progress must be made before its promise is realized. The...
