    The three possible fates of neutrons in Uranium metal are;

    They may cause a fission of a U-235 nucleus;

    They may be absorbed by a U-238 nucleus, or,

    They may escape from the Uranium mass.

    Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that has no stable isotopes but two primordial isotopes; Uranium-238, and Uranium-235, that have a long half life and are found in appreciable quantity in the Earth's crust, along with the decay product Uranium-234
