Both processes change the nature of the atom.
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.

Uranium
This statement is incorrect. The products of nuclear fission of uranium are typically highly radioactive, including elements such as cesium, strontium, and iodine. These radioactive byproducts require proper handling and disposal to prevent harm to human health and the environment.
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
Nuclear fission is not a common form of natural radioactive decay. Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, releasing energy in the process, but it is primarily associated with artificial processes such as nuclear power generation or nuclear weapons.
Yes, nuclear fusion produces some radioactive waste, but it is generally less than what is produced by nuclear fission.
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.

Nuclear Fission
The primary gases produced from nuclear fission are xenon and krypton. These noble gases are formed as byproducts of the nuclear fission process in nuclear reactors. They contribute to the overall radioactive inventory generated during nuclear power production.
