    Yes, it is.

    As you pointed out, the fission fragments are in fact available in the
    (FHEAVY) common, labelled by KHEAVY(ip)=7-12. When I run your input with
    1cm lead, I see them in the RESNUCLE output - like you - and in your unit
    44 as well. On the other hand, also for silicon indeed the usdraw
    output lists fragments with KHEAVY(ip)=7-12 (always perfectly consistent
    with the RESNUCLE output), which in this case are Fermi break-up products.

    Cheers

    Francesco
