If it were up to me, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission would be called “nuclear merging” and “nuclear splitting”. Or even “kernel merging” and “kernel splitting”?
Kernel? That's a bit complicated for me. Can we call it 'core' instead?
A more runewise crosscarrying would be "the nut of the uncleft".
Doesn't that come from Latin cor ‘heart’? :-) (Just guessing.)
(Also, core can also refer to the nucleus plus the electrons other than those in the outermost shell, so it'd be ambiguous.)
"middle bit"?
Nope: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=kernel
Wrong word. Actually, yes.
Oops. I failed to read that properly.
