The reason colliders like CERN and the many others exist is to study the reactions of smashing particles together in the hope of catching a glimpse of the smaller ones like quarks, gluons, and the fabled "God" particle, the proposed Higgs boson. Colliding the atoms allows for an instant's look at the subatomic particles that make up protons, neutrons, etc. For example, i believe that smashing two protons would yield a series of quarks, the particles which make up protons.

The fissionfragments fly off with kinetic energy which is converted to thermal energy in the fuel rods, and further neutrons are produced which enables a chain reaction to continue.
