The detection apparatus was shielded in lead and cadmium cylinders and a foot-thick "pot" to block everything but neutrinos. As the particles barreled through the heavy water, some scored bull's-eye hits on the nuclei of its hydrogen atoms, which contain an extra neutron. These collisions produced other particles, including more neutrons that struck the helium-filled tubes and registered...

The "liquid dynamite" in Weston's veins flows for Wesley and Emma also, and they lash out furiously against the invaders threatening the simple foundation of their lives.
