The answer is neutron. :)

Neutrons
The nuclear fission of uranium is a reaction with neutrons.
Uranium-238 is fissionable only by bombardment with fast neutrons.
Neutrons; but the cross section area is not so important.
Uranium atoms are split during nuclear fission. Uranium-235 and uranium-233 are fissile with thermal neutrons and uranium-238 is fissile with fast neutrons.
By neutrons; bu the cross specific area is very small for thermal neutrons.
They split the uranium atom.

no
Pure Uranium is radioactive; thus harmful. Inside a nuclear reactor, atoms get split. When the Uranium atom is split, it releases a huge amount of energy. This energy is called nuclear energy. Also the normal Uranium is not used in reactors. The Uranium that is used is enhanced; it is an isotope of Uranium. Uranium-237 and Uranium-238 are used in nuclear reactors. I hope this answer was useful for you.
