A light isotope of uranium of mass number 235 that is physically separable from natural uranium or is formed from plutonium by emission of a helium nucleus, that as the parent of the actinium series undergoes very slow radioactive disintegration, and that when bombarded with slow neutrons undergoes rapid fission into smaller atoms(as strontium and xenon or barium and krypton) together with much radiation and atomic energy, and that is used in power plants and atom bombs. 5, record 1, English, - uranium%2D235

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
C'est une matière fissile qui constitue le combustible nucléaire le plus courant. L'augmentation de la proportion en uranium 235 (enrichissement) se fait par diverses méthodes dites de séparation des isotopes. Émetteur alpha de 4,35 MeV (84 %) et diverses énergies voisines (16 %) de période 7,13 X 108 ans, il est le père de la famille de l'actinium.
