Nothing. Mass can neither can created nor destroyed. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. They can only be moved from one frame of reference to another.
During fission, binding energy is released because the nucleons have been rearranged. Since mass is energy, per e = mc2, this release of energy is accompanied by a release of mass.

Describe three advantages nuclear fusion would have over nuclear fission.?
1. Unlike fission, during fusion tremendous amount of energy is liberated. Hence fusion of a very small mass generates large amount of energy. 2. Unlike fission the products of fusion reactions are not radio-active. Thus they are harmless and can be replaced easily. 3. Highly penetrating radiations are liberated during fission, which are highly hazardous.

What is good about fission?
Very powerful source of energy, very small amount replaces many tons of fossil fuels.
What happens during nuclear fusion and fission?
A (small) amount of mass is "converted" into energy. If you fuse light elements into heavier ones (particulally hydrogen into helium), you end up with less mass than you started with. Likewise breaking apart heavy elements into lighter ones result in a "loss" of mass. Note - iron is the low point of all of this, thus you can fuse up to iron OR fission down to iron - but no farther.
Why only a small amount of the light energy from the sun that reaches the earth is used during photosynthesis?
i have no answer
What is the main advantage of fission?
Fission releases a large amount of energy from a small amount of material

What process takes place when uranium -235 splits into two smaller nuclei plus neutrons?
This is called nuclear fission. During this process a small amount of mass is annihilated which produces energy
One valueable characteristic of fission is the amount of energy released for each disintergrating atom is?
About 200 Mev per fission, which is a very small amount but then many many nuclei are fissioned per second
What is good about fission?
Very powerful source of energy, very small amount replaces many tons of fossil fuels.
Where does the small amount of technetium from the earth come from?
Two causes are possible: - spontaneous fission of uranium - a reaction (n, gamma) of molybdenum
What has the author G J Small written?
G J. Small has written: 'Fission gas release from uranium dioxide during transient heating'
What amount of energy is produced during nuclear fisson?
Each fission of a U235 nucleus produces 200 Mev which in terms of Joules is 3.2 x 10-11 Joules. This is a very small amount, which shows just how many fissions are occurring every second, for a reactor which produces 3000 Mw thermal
How did the gold the gold rush affect California?
It affected the population. It changed from a small amount to an abundance.
How does the amount of sun hitting the earth changed during the year?
It's slightly less in July, when the earth is farthest from the sun, and slightly more in January, when the earth is closest to the sun. But these differences are very small.
What are pros and cons of hydrogen energy?
Pros: Need very small amount of H2 to emit powerful energy. Cons: Fission reaction so very hard to control.
