Nuclear Fission is the separation of two superheated nuclei of the same atom/ion.
It creates a burst of energy which is used to spin turbines for nuclear energy. It is the opposite of nuclear fusion as that fuses the chemicals, this is the separation.
So the answer: two atoms, some energy and a LOT of radioactive waste
To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
The first time a fission chain reaction was produced was in 1942

In a chain reaction, each fission reaction must produce at least one additional fission reaction to sustain the reaction. This is necessary to achieve a self-sustaining nuclear reaction where each fission event leads to more fission events, releasing energy in the process. Without this multiplication of fission reactions, the chain reaction would not be able to continue and sustain itself.
For a chain reaction to occur, each fission must produce at least one more fission reaction. This leads to a self-sustaining reaction where each fission event triggers more fission events, resulting in a continuous release of energy.
Nuclear fission reactions are used to create power in nuclear power plants. In a fission reaction, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy is used to generate heat, which in turn produces steam to drive turbines and generate electricity.
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
In a nuclear fission reaction, the energy comes from the splitting of atomic nuclei.
Atomic fission bomb.
An Atomic bomb is the detonator for a Hydrogen bomb to create enough heat for the fission - fusion chain reaction.
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
