Talk:Nuclear chain reaction

Seems that this article is extremely biased towards nuclear fission. What about nuclear fusion? 145.97.223.187 11:36, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Needs a discussion of chain-reaction timescales, to differentiate between prompt and delayed neutrons, and so between critical and prompt critical. Linuxlad 10:11, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Yes yes yes! Removed text:
- The rate of reactions will accelerate exponentially if left unmoderated.
- which is highly misleading at least. The role of a neutron moderator is not really control, but I can see how someone might think that.
- I've just added a very brief mention of prompt-criticality to critical mass. Do we need it here too? Should we perhaps have a separate article on supercriticality, with prompt critical redirecting to it? Andrewa 02:08, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Eeek! The good news is there's already an article on prompt Criticality which I've now added to category:nuclear technology. The bad news is that I've also added a disputed tag to it...! And of course the capital "C" is wrong in the title. Andrewa 02:32, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
