21. Keyes and Zimsky race to reset the nuclear charges , and Zimsky gets trapped in one of the detaching compartments. 22. He then detonates nuclear charges , destroying the " Valley Forge ", the damaged Huey and himself in the process. 23. The explosive lenses around nuclear charges are also designed to be highly insensitive, to minimize the risk of accidental detonation. 24. After drawn-out negotiations, Moscow finally agreed to foot the bill for removing the " forgotten " nuclear charge , Izvestia said. 25. The X-ray spectroscopy done by Henry Moseley in 1914 showed a direct dependency between spectral line and effective nuclear charge . 26. At that time, bomb design technology required that the actual nuclear charge , or capsule, be kept separate from the non-nuclear assembly. 27. Usually, only the valence electrons are treated quantum mechanically while the role of core electrons is to reduce the nuclear charge . 28. This led to the nuclear charge , or atomic number of an element, being used to ascertain its place within the periodic table. 29. A clever dodge, employed by Hartree, for atomic calculations was to increase the nuclear charge , thus pulling all the electrons closer together. 30. Nazarbayev said destroying the nuclear charge with conventional explosives " is the optimum decision " because it would avoid a nuclear explosion.
