"chorgh valtInmey, chorgh yomIjmey je yugh yInSIp HeySel SuqSIv."

Translation: The nucleus of an oxygen atom consists of eight protons and eight neutrons.

[E.T.Gregor]

I know it's the literal meaning, but could "atom core" please not be the standard translation of "HeySel SuqSIv"? It's called the "(atomic) nucleus".

[loghaD]

Good point; "The nucleus of ..." is now the primary translation of this sentence, although "core" is also accepted. Thanks!
