For some reason I was under the impression that U-238 matched at least of the "magic numbers" for nuclear stability, whence my reaction. But I realised (and also looked it up) that I was confused on this point. With 92 protonss and 146 neutrons, U-238 matches none of these numbers. I also see that the most stable Thorium isotope (Th-232) is more long-lived than U-238. |

Well, at least both numbers are even, which is generally more stable than if they were odd. > I also see that the most stable Thorium isotope (Th-232) is more long-lived > than U-238. The significance of thorium is that if it absorbs a neutron, Th-232 decays first into Pa-233 and then into U-233, which is fissile -- like the process by which fissile Pu-239 can be made from U-238. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "Oh what a tangled web we weave, msb@vex.net | a literate geekiness to achieve." --Steve Summit My text in this article is in the public domain. |
