neutronin a sentence
-
At one time physicists thought the neutron was one of three elementary particles.
neutron = a stable particle that is a component of all atomic nuclei, has 0 charge, and mass about equal to a proton

- How many neutrons and electrons?† (source)
- "But are you not," he said, "a more fiendish disputant than the Great Hyperlobic Omni-Cognate Neutron Wrangler of Ciceronicus Twelve, the Magic and Indefatigable?"† (source)
- You get that from using a centrifuge to spin uranium-238, thus driving the heavy neutrons outward, like water off the lettuce in a salad spinner.† (source)
- No papers, no tests, no tables where I'd have to memorize protons and neutrons and combine elements in their proper formulas …. what could possibly be better for a high school senior?† (source)
- We call these elemental particles protons, neutrons, and electrons.† (source)
- Being denser, it trapped more neutrons in the reactor pile, increasing the ferocity of the fission reaction and giving off yet more power.† (source)
- The most common isotope of uranium is bombarded with neutrons to produce plutonium that fissions, if we can generate a verb from the energy of splitting atoms.† (source)
- You also need an initiator, tampers and pushers, and ideally a neutron reflector to push neutrons back in the pit.† (source)
- And then it did …. something with the plasma and got more electricity and less plasma, somehow converting the neutrons and protons of the plasma to electrons?† (source)

- "The Great Hyperlobic Omni-Cognate Neutron Wrangler," said Deep Thought, thoroughly rolling the r's, "could talk all four legs off an Arcturan Mega-Donkey—but only I could persuade it to go for a walk afterward."† (source)
- The reason we picked a proton instead of a neutron to unfold into two dimensions is precisely to avoid this kind of risk.† (source)
- After a neutron bomb attack, the amount of time left to the enemy would be more than enough for them to have a meeting just like this one.† (source)
- In fact, even in nature, the destruction of universes must be happening at every second—for example, through the decay of neutrons.† (source)
- He wore protective gloves, he wore overgloves attached to his sleeves, he wore layers of treated clothing equipped with a number of film badges and rad-detectors and he worked with bomb components—the neutron initiator, the detonators, the subcritical pieces, the visceral heat inside the warhead.† (source)
- At most the rods could absorb just less than one percent of the neutron flux, but this was enough either to permit the reaction or to prevent it.† (source)
- What had not been fully considered was that the metal was also exposed to intense nuclear radiation, and this particular titanium alloy was not completely stable under extended neutron bombardment.† (source)
- You also need an initiator, tampers and pushers, and ideally a neutron reflector to push neutrons back in the pit.† (source)
- Protons, neutrons, electrons.† (source)
- Capturing a neutron.† (source)
- With no reactor coolant to absorb the heat of the uranium rods, the nuclear reaction actually stopped—there was no water to attenuate the neutron flux.† (source)
- The cold water admitted into the vessel drew off the heat but also slowed down too many neutrons, keeping them in the reactor core.† (source)
- Nuclear radiation had bombarded the metal vessel and its internal fittings with many billions of neutrons.† (source)
- The three inner spaces were filled with a barium-water mixture, then a barrier of lead, then polyethylene, all designed to prevent the escape of neutrons and gamma particles.† (source)
- The first stage had been all over before the doctors even knew they were dealing with a new sickness; it was the direct reaction to the bombardment of the body, at the moment when the bomb went off, by neutrons, beta particles, and gamma rays.† (source)
