The primary result of a fission reaction is the conversion of mass to energy. In fission, the nucleus split, either through radioactive decay or as result of being bombarded by other subatomic particles known as neutrons.

Are the number of atoms in space constant?
No. It is very frequent to change of the number of atoms in nuclear fissions and nuclear fusions.
Nuclear energy that is used to power nuclear powerplants?
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
1 gram uranium - 100 Watt Bulb?
The bomb of Hiroshima: under 1g 235U supported nuclear fissions !
A nuclear fission process in which neutrons produced by fission trigger more fissions?
nuclear chain reactionNote: there are also chemical chain reactions (e.g. polymerization), of course they involve no neutrons
Atoms are merged to produce this type of energy?
Nuclear energy.When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion. When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission.
How nuclear fuels can be use to generate electricity?
Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
What is a rapid series of nuclear fissions?
This might be called a chain reaction.
Are the number of atoms in space constant?
No. It is very frequent to change of the number of atoms in nuclear fissions and nuclear fusions.
Nuclear energy that is used to power nuclear powerplants?
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
Is fusion a chain reaction?
Not exactly, nuclear chain reactions are a series of nuclear fissions initiated by neutrons produced in a preceding fission.
What is necessary sustain a nuclear chain reaction?
In a chain reaction, neutrons released during the splitting of an initial nucleus trigger a series of nuclear fissions.
Can an element be broken down into a simpler substance and still be an element?
Yes, and this type of reactions are known as nuclear fissions.
1 gram uranium - 100 Watt Bulb?
The bomb of Hiroshima: under 1g 235U supported nuclear fissions !
What do all nuclear fission reactions produce?
All the nuclear fissions produce smaller elements from the larger element and few neutrons so that the fission reaction is continuously carried out.
A nuclear fission process in which neutrons produced by fission trigger more fissions?
nuclear chain reactionNote: there are also chemical chain reactions (e.g. polymerization), of course they involve no neutrons
What is nuclear reactors?
An assembly of fissile fuel (U-235 or PU-239) arranged in a geometric array. The assembly can be made to go critical such that a chain reaction starts which builds up a neutron flux inside the assembly. The chain reaction is controlled at a steady level using neutron absorbing control rods.The nuclear reactor can classified under:a thermal nuclear reactor, where the majority of fissions are caused by slow neutrons. In these reactors, the fast neutrons produced by fissions are slowed down with a moderator which can be graphite, heavy water or light water, anda fast nuclear reactor where the majority of fissions are caused by fast neutrons
