Index Entry

the sum of numbers of the spheres in the first three shells. The total is 238, the number of nucleons sic in Uranium, whose atomic weight is 238.

"Four of the nucleons on one of the square faces of the vector equilibrium's closest-packed aggregation of nucleons, may be separated out, without impairing the structural stability integrity of the balance of the aggregate. This leaves a residue of 234 nucleoons, which is the fissionable state of Uranium-- which must go on chain-reacting due to its asymmetry."
