Would we force start a fission reaction, even if it’s not self sustaining?
In: Physics
Alternatively, nothing could happen. Even in standard fission with neutrons being the “cue balls,” if they’re going too fast it’s possible they slip right through everything without hitting anything. This is why reactors have a moderator (water or graphite), to intentionally slow down the neutrons a bit which makes them more likely to hit something.
