In a hole in the center of this system is placed a subcritical sphere of fissionable material.

在这个系统的中心圆洞中放置一枚次临界的球形可裂变物质。

The reaction is slowed by a combination of depletion of the fissionable material and expansion of the core.

由于裂变物质的耗尽以及由于核心的膨胀，才使反应减慢下来。

The ingenuity of our scientists will provide special safe conditions under which such a bank of fissionable material can be made essentially immune to surprise seizure.

我们科学家的这种独创性将供应特殊的安全的条件，在裂变物质储藏所能够从本质上获得免疫的就被奇袭没收。

It is fissionable material and small tactical warheads that are in danger of being stolen or sold, not the well-guarded strategic systems.

Second, although Russian strategic warheads are well-guarded, large numbers of small tactical nuclear warheads and huge amounts of fissionable material usable for bombs are not, and these create a serious stockpile security problem.

Indeed, it is now obvious to everyone what Israel contended all along: Had Osirak been allowed to come on line as planned, the Butcher of Baghdad would long ago have secured fissionable material for use in atomic or thermonuclear devices.
