Usage examples of "atomic nuclei".

Such a cutting or fission of atomic nuclei occurs in nuclear weapons and conventional nuclear power plants, although it is not carbon that is split.
Breaking up atomic nuclei, however, requires quite a lot of money and a generous supply of electricity.

You know that not all atomic nuclei explode on being hit by a neutron.
When you liberate them from their host atoms, they radiate outward, bombarding other atomic nuclei, releasing more neutrons.
