It's a problem of nuclear physics - the stability of a nucleus, depending on the number of protons and neutrons.

What causes a chain reaction in uranium?

Each atom, when split, releases one or more neutrons. Those neutrons go on to destabilize and split other atoms. This is the "chain reaction" we talk about. The multiplication factor, known as Keffective represents the rate of increase in reactivity. If Keffective is 1, then, on average, one atom's split results in one neutron that splits one atom.
