simply splitting of a larger particle in to many smaller particles... when a faster elentron is made to collide over an atom then the atom will splits to produce a larger energy(heat radiations)... the term nuclear fission is because the fast electron will actually hits the nucleas of that atom to produce energy...

What is the starting material for nuclear fission?
You must not ask "what element", but "what isotope". Uranium-235 is one example of an ISOTOPE that is appropriate for nuclear fission. Uranium-238 is the same for chemical reactions, but for purposes of nuclear reactions, different isotopes must be considered to be different types of atoms.
When fission is not controlled how is it used?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
Nuclear fission does not create any waste materials?
Actually it does.
What type of reactor produces more fuel than it consumes?
a fission nuclear reactor -binky
A place where nuclear power is produced?
A nuclear power plant or nuclear power station.This consists of:a nuclear fission reactoran electric generation facilityone or more cooling towers to dispose of waste heat in the form of water vapora spent fuel rod storage pool of water (to keep the rods cool as their fission products decay)a manned control roometc.
Division of nuclear material is called?
I think by "division" you must mean nuclear fission
What is the synonyme of nuclear fissure?
You mean nuclear fission I think
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
Who studies Fission and fusion of atoms?
a nuclear physicist.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
nuclear fission
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
What is induced nuclear fission?
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.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
Occurs when a large nucleus splits releasing energy and two smaller nuclei?
Nuclear fission.
What is the process of the production of lighter nuclei from heavier nuclei called. Nuclear radiation nuclear force fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission
Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
