However, it took a fast energetic neutron to interact with the beryllium nucleus, and only slow neutrons were liberated, neutrons with too little energy to interact with further beryllium nuclei.

The tortured beryllium yielded up neutrons, which shot out in all directions through the uranium mass.

To split the first uranium nucleus by bombarding it with neutrons from the beryllium target took more power than the death of the atom gave up.
