Nuclear Fission. nuclear fission the process by which the nucleus of a heavy atom splits into two or more fragments; the process releases neutrons and energy. When the nucleus splits, it releases additional neutrons as well as energy. The newly released neutrons begin a chain reaction by striking nearby nuclei, which causes those nuclei to split and release more neutrons and more energy. If left uncontrolled, a fission reaction will escalate quickly and may result in an explosion. Controlled reactions produce heat that can be used to generate electricity.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
