Plants are quite sensitive to water, pH balance, nutrient, and light changes, and many floran medical treatments, while useless for other beings, prove highly effective by changing exposure to these, especially exposure to specific nutrients. Nuru and the Greenfingers have a broader experience of the world, so they know that others don’t always have the Floran ability to figure that out, and use names and personal pronouns to clarify.įloran medicine is actually pretty advanced, to the surprise of most people who judge them by their “primitive” social system. Sssmells funny.” Smells funny as in the statue itself doesn’t smell like a Floran, perhaps? Or even the specific Floran it depicts? This might explain most of them universally referring to themselves and each other as Floran rather than by name. “Floran” is enough for what they are talking about, and the pheromones specify who. The inspection dialogue identifies it as a Greenfinger: “Ssspecial Floran. There’s also that sandstone statue of a Floran. It would also help them work together during a hunt, where the prey might be sound-sensitive, but wouldn’t understand the subtle shifting scents and pheromones as the Floran calling commands or plans (if they could even detect that) until it was too late. Maybe this fed the concept of Floran being very simple creatures overall. A non-Floran character doesn’t get the chemical side of communication or even know it’s there. Perhaps that’s part of why their speech seems so simplistic to a Floran player character, this is normal, and they understand the nonverbal side just fine. Most of their language is actually based on scent and chemicals, like real life plant communication. So I had an idea, a while back, that Floran language is actually only partially dependent on words. This is the principle how fission fragments heat up fuel in the reactor core.Looks like I forgot to post this before ^.^ I’ve had this theory for a long while. vibrational energy or rotational energy of atoms).

The positive ions and free electrons created by the passage of the charged fission fragment will then reunite, releasing energy in the form of heat (e.g. Creation of ion pairs requires energy, which is lost from the kinetic energy of the charged fission fragment causing it to decelerate. The fission fragments interact strongly with the surrounding atoms or molecules traveling at high speed, causing them to ionize. On the other hand most of the energy released by one fission (~170MeV of total ~200MeV) appears as kinetic energy of these fission fragments. Therefore part of the released energy is radiated away from the reactor (See also: Reactor antineutrinos). Most of the fission fragments are highly unstable (radioactive) nuclei and undergo further radioactive decays to stabilize itself. It is much more probable to break up into unequal fragments, and the most probable fragment masses are around mass 95 (Krypton) and 137 (Barium). The average of the fragment atomic mass is about 118, but very few fragments near that average are found. Typically, when uranium 235 nucleus undergoes fission, the nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei (triple fission can also rarely occur), along with a few neutrons (the average is 2.43 neutrons per fission by thermal neutron) and release of energy in the form of heat and gamma rays. About 85% of all absorption reactions result in fission. Therefore about 15% of all absorption reactions result in radiative capture of neutron. The cross-section for radiative capture for thermal neutrons is about 99 barns (for 0.0253 eV neutron). Most of absorption reactions result in fission reaction, but a minority results in radiative capture forming 236U. For fast neutrons its fission cross-section is on the order of barns. Uranium 235 is a fissile isotope and its fission cross-section for thermal neutrons is about 585 barns (for 0.0253 eV neutron).
