The act of an atom splitting is called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission where we see neutrons emerge with fission fragments, and we then see those neutrons initiate other fission reactions is called a nuclear fission chain reaction.
The process in which each split atom gives up neutrons which in turn split other atoms is called a nuclear fission chain reaction.
The splitting of atoms and the release of neutrons describes nuclear fission.
Nuclear chain reaction
A nuclear chain reaction. This is what happens in a nuclear reactor.

This is a nuclear fission chain reaction. An atom of fissile material spontaneously splits (fissions), and neutrons released in this fission event initiate other fission events. Still more neutrons are released, and they cause more fissions, and a chair reaction is under way.a nuclear reactionit is called a chain reaction.chain reaction
Nuclear fission.
When a hydrogen atom is split in a process called nuclear fission, it releases a large amount of energy. The resulting products are usually two smaller atoms, such as helium or lithium, along with some neutrons. This process is the basis for nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons.
The process you are referring to is nuclear fission. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts by bombarding it with neutrons. This process releases a large amount of energy and more neutrons, which can go on to split other nuclei in a chain reaction.
it gives cold fusion
The nuclear fission of uranium is a reaction with neutrons.
