English term or phrase: Fissile nucleus
Hello everyone again!

I would be very pleased if you could tell me how to tranlate "fissile nucleus" into Spanish.
Here, there is a context that may help:
“A neutron will more easily hit a fissile uranium atom if its speed is slowed down. Therefore, a moderator is required: a substance that acts like a brake upon the neutrons. The fissile nucleus will disintegrate into several fission fragments and in turn emit neutrons.”

Thanks a lot!
