  3. The 10 to 1 ratio was an estimate made in 1972; current estimates put the ratio at either 3 to 1 or 1.3 to 1. [299] The total length of capillaries in the human body is not 100,000 km. That figure comes from a 1929 book by August Krogh, who used an unrealistically large model person and an inaccurately high density of capillaries.

    3 1 T + 4 2 He 1 0 n + 7 3 Li → 3 1 T + 4 2 He + 1 0 n. The reactant neutron is supplied by the D-T fusion reaction shown above, and the one that has the greatest energy yield. The reaction with 6 Li is exothermic, providing a small energy gain for the reactor. The reaction with 7 Li is endothermic, but does not consume the neutron ...

  8. Nuclear fission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fission

    Fission is a form of nuclear transmutation because the resulting fragments (or daughter atoms) are not the same element as the original parent atom. The two (or more) nuclei produced are most often of comparable but slightly different sizes, typically with a mass ratio of products of about 3 to 2, for common fissile isotopes.
