700 rads per shot. (Laughter)

But if you've got a teacher that likes to get you on a technicality, this is technically what mitosis is.

You have fissile nuclei. That means this is a nucleus.

I want you to go back. Now I want you to hit it with a neutron and see if it will fission.

Look at plutonium, wow, big target, right? But one third of the time it's just going to eat the neutron in thermal fission.

You can also then turn around and go back and take some of the waste that's already been created in our uranium fueled reactors and potentially destroy those long

And if you move up to fusion, you get another 10,000 times that.

Nuclear energy is produced by splitting atoms or by bringing them together.

And I thought, you know, is this the best way to do it?

These are the mass numbers of each of those and they assume two broad peaks of distribution.

And so by the end of the telophase that's what we're in, the telophase we will have completed mitosis.

Every innocent bystander will be burned to a crisp.

So that leaves a couple of places like Iran, maybe Venezuela, that you would like to have very close surveillance of anything that goes on with fissile stuff.

That's a long time you're going to be waiting for that to decay.

I think about World War II some of our great technologists then, some of our great physicists, studying nuclear fission and fusion just nuclear stuff.

And formally, mitosis is really the process of the duplication of the nucleus, but it normally ends up with two entire cells.

You don't have to put control rods in or anything. The reactor will turn off immediately.

Technologies are sort of like children.

Sure, we can alter elements by nuclear fusion or nuclear fission.

So by the end of telophase I, you have the actual cytoplasm splitting during telophase right there, and the nuclear envelope is forming.

What we see are, first of all, a very active culture, a lot of divisions, and then very clear nuclei once the cells have separated.

A big pressurized water reactor vessel.

So we'll take it from first principles. Let's talk a bit about what nuclear fission is.

What you want, you want blue. Thick blue is good.

A neutron essentially turns into a proton and it spits out an electron.

So, where is he getting all this silicon necessary to make the sand?

But see how much of the protein is still throughout the nucleus, even in the dividing cell.

Conversely, as the salt cooled down, there was more material, because the salt was contracting, and fission became more likely.

We can make about 500 to 600 million in electricity and another 50 or 60 million on the fission of the uranium 235.

It's the splitting of the nucleus or the replication of the nucleus into two separate nucleuses.

The energy that I'm able to talk to you today, while it was converted to chemical energy in my food, originally came from a nuclear reaction, and so there's something poetic about, in my opinion, perfecting nuclear fission and using it as a future source of innovative energy.

And then you can guess what happens in anaphase Il.

celermitosis.

Because every kilogram of fissile material will produce as much energy as 13,000 barrels of oil.

But we have a lot of knowledge to gain before we can make solar the base load energy supply for the world.

So you have what's called the xenon pit, and so some of these fission products love neutrons.

I won't draw the whole cell, because what's interesting here is happening at the nuclear, or what once was the nucleus level.

Civilization has changed over advancements in technology a whole lot more modest than this.

But this is actually a talk about, okay (Laughter) but this is actually a talk about fission.

They replicated and then they split apart.

I think it's important.

Same with diatoms, which are shown right here, which are glasseous structures.

He's a paranoid schizophrenic, former patient at Arkham.

And that one cell reproduced itself, dividing, dividing and dividing until there were 10 trillion of them.

And then in meiosis 2, these things get split in a mechanism very similar to mitosis.
