SeaMonkey Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Actually Berlin was the target, you're right A234, I guess if you want to call the complete destruction of your infrastructure without radiation as luck...well ..so be it. Seems like I remember the implications of that destroyed heavy water supply from Norway as being akin to divine intervention, makes you wonder at times. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaMonkey Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Sure it would, it just has an extra neutron in the nucleus, otherwise known as an isotope. Although, I don't think I would make it a habit, no telling what might happen. Probably have a weight gain and have to go on a diet of "light water". See that extra neutron is like a catalyst to continue and enhance the U235 splitting making for a more rapid and continuous release of energy, so its desirable. But I believe later they decided this was the incorrect path to follow. Course I could be off on this, nuclear physics is really not my forte', organics is, like making gasoline or other hydrocarbon based fuels.
