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
