What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
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.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
What is an uncontrolled nuclear fission?
There are both controlled and uncontrolled fission reactions. The reactors in nuclear power plants and submarines make use of a controlled nuclear reaction. Nuclear weapons make use of an uncontrolled reaction.
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission

Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
What is the most common nuclear reaction?
Nuclear fission.
What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
What are the two types of nuclear reaction?
Nuclear Fission & Nuclear fusion.
