Unknown. Early Science Fiction Fans Recall Their Sense of Wonder
Unknown. Letter (Astounding, July 1948): Sorry—LiH Is an Atomic Explosive. The Cockroft-Walton Experiment Shows That 150,000 Volt Protons Cause Li to Fission Just as Thermal Neutrons Fission U-235. The Energy Yield Is About 2.5 Times That of U-235, Pound for Pound. But It takes U-235 to Excite LiH Sufficiently to Set It Off—Just as It Takes a Violent Primer Like Tetryl to Set Off Ammonium Nitrate. The Low Energy Efficiency of the Lab Experiment with Li and H Results from Small Percentage of Successful Hits. If the Li and H Are Raised to Such a Temperature That the Average Thermal Energy Equals the Neccessary Bombardment Energy, the Reaction Becomes Efficient.
