Large amount of energy and extra neutrons are released
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
Nuclear processes that can release large amounts of energy.
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
In nuclear fission, the reactant atoms are split into resultant atoms, and a release of energy.
The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.

Both release excess nuclear binding energy.
Nuclear fission in a nuclear reactor is initiated by bombarding uranium or plutonium atoms with neutrons, causing them to split and release more neutrons, which then continue the chain reaction.
Nuclear fission is not delivered to consumers. The end result of nuclear fission is delivered to consumers. Nuclear fission is used to release excess nuclear energy (excess residual binding energy) in the fission of (usually) uranium-235, generating heat which flashes water to steam, which spins turbines, which turns generators, which makes electricity, which is delivered to consumers.
nuclear fission
The process where nuclear fuels release energy is called nuclear fission. It involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
