प्रश्न
Uranium is available in two forms U-235 and U-238. Which of the two isotopes of Uranium is more fissionable?
उत्तर
Comparatively speaking, U-235 is easier to fission than U-238. This is due to the fact that only fast neutrons can cause the fission of U-238, whereas slow neutrons can even trigger the fission of U-235.
