Nuclear fission
In
nuclear physics
and
nuclear chemistry
,
nuclear fission
is either a
nuclear reaction
or a
radioactive decay
process in which the
nucleus
of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter
nuclei
). The fission process often produces free
neutrons
and
gamma
photons
, and releases a very large amount of
energy
even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay.
