Hi Inge - the simplest explanation is that the bomb went boom, a
tremendous amount of energy events at the atomic level began to occur and
the U238 bomb jacket was subjected to transformation by neutron capture.
Any explanation beyond that means I have to open up a few text books and
do some reading! My curiosity is for the folks on the airplane conducting
the air sampling - just what were the health effects of that exposure!

Re: [TN] NTC - Friday Trivia Question
I try to figure out by thinking only, but it's Friday, and I've visited a
2
hs synt concert with Jean.Michel Jarre, and am exhausted. Jarre uses lots
of
lasers in his shows. Laser..hm...photons... exitation...gamma
radiation....hydrogen bomb..hmm...Einsteinium must have higher energy
than
Uranium when electrons fall back to origin place in the orbit after a
high
energetic bombardment......so they must have used ionized Uranium that was
bombarded with gamma that lifted electrons to higher orbit , then
accelerated these ions through a magnetic field and registered a energy
count higher than what had been seen before...I give up. Dave, you got to
tell us. I make things more complicated than what's needed. I'm sure
you'll
tell us about a simpler way. Hmm...I don't remember the deterioration of
Einsteinium...guess it starts fall apart very rapidly. Does it have
anything
to do with Geiger-Muller detecting? Hmmmmmmmmm...now wait a little. I'm a
stupid. They must simply have decided the density! But could they...the
new
element had short life..OK...I come no closer..
May someone else crack the nut. Tomorrow I'll have a look in my old books
of
Physics..

>> 2) Question Number Two:
>> Sir Humphry Davy discovered what element in 1808?
