The heavy isotope of hydrogen (Deuterium) is used in nuclear reactions, it has an extra neutron which is used to bombard on Uranium atoms and a chain process becomes started known as fission.

What is the raw material of nuclear fission?
Its Uranium
How is hydrogen changed into helium in nuclear fission?
Hydrogen is not changed into helium in nuclear fission. In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more lighter atomic nuclei are forced together and are fused into a heavier nucleus. In the case of the formation of hydrogen into helium, our sun does that in what is called the proton-proton reaction.
How can nuclear fission be used?
In general, physicists, and specifically nuclear physicists, use nuclear fission in experiments.
How is heat of Nuclear fission used?
The heat from nuclear fission is what generates electricity. Water is heated in a nuclear reactor, which then generates steam which is used to power electrical generators.
How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?
in nuclear fusion bombs
What atom is broken to create nuclear fission?
hydrogen atom is broken to create nuclear fission
What element is needed to make a nuclear weapon?
Uranium makes for an excellent element for nuclear fission. Hydrogen is most commonly used for nuclear fusion.
What is the raw material of nuclear fission?
Its Uranium
Do nuclear bombs use nuclear fusion or fission?
Almost all modern nuclear explosive devices use some of each. The early atomic bombs used only fission. All hydrogen bombs use both fission and fusion. Some things you might want to look up are: boosted fission bomb, external electrical fusor neutron source, the plutonium "fission sparkplug" used in each stage of a hydrogen bomb, depleted uranium hydrogen bomb tamper can provide up to 90% of the total yield through fast fission.
Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
Is hydrogen ever created in nature by nuclear fission?
Yes In high temperature gas cooled nuclear fission reactors using the nuclear process heat.
Nuclear fission where is it found?
stars.... stars are made of hydrogen, helium, and nuclear fusion
Where has nuclear fission been used?
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.

Maximam dengrus bomb between nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb?
If you are asking which has the maximum danger, a hydrogen bomb is one type of nuclear bomb. In general, nuclear bombs can be fission (called atomic) or fusion (hydrogen) A fusion bomb is larger than an fission bomb, and actually uses a fission bomb to start the fusion reaction.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
