We might think of induced nuclear fission as a fission reaction that occurs when a neutron is captured by, say, a uranium-235 atom and that atomic nucleus undergoes fission as a result. Most all of the fission events within a nuclear reactor or nuclear weapon are induced. Given this, we might then compare that fission event to a spontaneous fission event wherein the atomic nucleus of a uranium-235 atom spontaneously undergoes fission without having captured a neutron.

In the twentieth century what were two ways nuclear fission happened?
Nuclear fission happens spontaneously in nature. Uranium-235 does this, and is the only commonly occurring natural isotope that does. Nuclear fission can be induced by crashing a neutron into a fissionable atom. Some things other than Uranium-235 are fissionable, notably Uranium-238. Fission has been induced in various experiments. It happens in nuclear reactors and in nuclear bombs.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
What is the process of the production of lighter nuclei from heavier nuclei called. Nuclear radiation nuclear force fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission
What are other information about nuclear fission?
nuclear fission is the process of splitting atoms.

The contolled release of nuclear energy in reactor is accomplished by?
Nuclear energy is released during: fission radioactive decay man-induced splitting of atoms
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs

The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
nuclear fission
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
How does a nuclear disaster occur?
A nuclear disaster may occur when the radioactive materials are mishandled and which may lead to radioactive exposure or a chain reaction of nuclear fission, fusion. Most of these disasters are induced by the man made mistakes.

Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
