Uranium atoms are football shaped, not round.
I remember from the liquid drop model that Uranium and Plutonium and other
transuranics are football shaped and that when they absorb a neutron they
fission when the ends bulge out and form asymetrical smaller drops.
Diameter might not be good parameter.
