²³⁵U in opposition-shell packing · central hit → rigid inner sphere + outer skin that calves off
Produce this larger daughter
Ranked by real IAEA thermal-fission yield. A central proton hit (b≈0) makes the
outer skin (≈100 nucleons) calve/shear off the rigid inner sphere (α core + the
tritons that do not budge) — the sphere is this heavy daughter. (A grazing hit b→R shaves a thin
surface chip instead → spallation, NP27.)
Scope: subunit counts are exact (α + n_d deuterons + n_t tritons).
The opposition-shell positions are the model's assignment (Harvey 2026-07-03), not proven unique.
The split is radial (tritons inner, deuterons outer) — what is rigid is the triton core
(heavy daughter locks near n_t = 31–32, the N = 82 shell), shown live below.
