? It looks fine to me now, and especially since the main concern re: "fissile" is in stuff that you can manufacture in large quantities, like we can...

non-fissile, however, the Plutonium-238 article calls it fissile ? Geertchaos (talk) 10:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC) Good catch. 238 Pu is not fissile, and...

https://www.tech-faq.com/types-of-nuclear-fuel.html reads in part The known fissile materials are: Uranium-233 Uranium-235 Plutonium-238 Plutonium-239 Plutonium-241...

(but especially 239Pu), 241Pu is fissile... (my emphasis) That is complete and utter rubbish. Pu-239 and Pu-241 are fissile, but Pu-238, Pu-240 and Pu-242...

total primordial nuclides. 99.32.172.114 (talk) 05:23, 14 April 2013 (UTC) Fissile nuclides tend to have even Z and odd N. This is very important and should...

fissile; the ocean with 3.3 ppb Uranium dissolved in it isn't fissile; the ground upon which I sit, with a few ppb U in it, is not fissile. Fissile as...

in nature. It is not fissile, but is a fertile material: it can capture a slow neutron and after two beta decays become fissile plutonium-239. 238U is...

(talk • contribs) 17:13, 23 January 2010 (UTC) U-233 is fissile, and by definition, "Fissile" nuclei are distinguished by their ability to sustain a chain...

Matter bomb is used to restart the sun." as it is infact "the combined fissile materials of the whole planet"; a nuclear bomb "with a mass roughly equivalent...

(UTC) This list included Uranium 238. U-238 is not fissile - U-235 is the (naturally occuring) fissile isotope, and U-233 and U-232 can be bred from Thorium...

had been given up long ago: "by firing a fissile projectile or "bullet" into a hollow opening in a larger fissile "target"". Other wiki pages confirm this...

Not fissile. Sounds dubious. Midgley (talk) 20:52, 27 April 2018 (UTC) Midgley (talk) 20:52, 27 April 2018 (UTC)...

"It is the only fissile isotope found in any economic quantity in nature." needs a reference. I don't think its true, Thorium has fissile isotopes, although...

Hello fellow Wikipedians, I have just modified one external link on Fissility (geology). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions...

by User:Deglr6328, who claims 238 is in fact, fissile. Pu-238 is fissionable but not fissile. All fissile nuclides have an odd mass number and an even...

consists of two components: a nuclear fission primary stage fueled by fissile 235 U or 239 Pu , and a separate nuclear fusion secondary stage containing...

"creates more fuel than it consumes" because it turns a non-fissile isotope (U238) into a fissile isotope Pu239. There is no "perpetual motion machine" here...

garage then, guaranteed working. You only had to find some highly refined fissile material to fill it, that is the hard part. Still, when BBC wrote about...

made it impossible to patent processes for generating nuclear energy or fissile materials." Yet the linked 1954 law states in Section 11: "No patent shall...

the fusion neutrons emitted which can cause fissioning of normally "non-fissile" isotopes such as U-238 directly, something that no other fission design...
