Dear Elbasher,

You mean fission, not fusion, I guess, don’t you?

Cheers,
Dmitry.

Very nice. But what about fusion of heavy nuclei?

Thank you

Dear Dmitry, is the last reaction, “t+4″, supposed to be “t+t”? Although I admit, colliding a tritium against the number four would be more exciting. You would surely create “pi” and 0.86 of pseudo-GeV would be left.
