Nothing. Mass can neither can created nor destroyed. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. They can only be moved from one frame of reference to another.
During fission, binding energy is released because the nucleons have been rearranged. Since mass is energy, per e = mc2, this release of energy is accompanied by a release of mass.

Describe three advantages nuclear fusion would have over nuclear fission.?
1. Unlike fission, during fusion tremendous amount of energy is liberated. Hence fusion of a very small mass generates large amount of energy. 2. Unlike fission the products of fusion reactions are not radio-active. Thus they are harmless and can be replaced easily. 3. Highly penetrating radiations are liberated during fission, which are highly hazardous.

What is good about fission?
Very powerful source of energy, very small amount replaces many tons of fossil fuels.
In a nuclear fission reaction what is converted into energy?
In fission, the mass of the resulting atoms is slightly less than the mass of the original atom that was "split" -- this matter has been converted into energy. A tiny amount of matter is the equivalent of an enormous amount of energy, according to the formula E=Mc2.
Why enormous energy is released during nuclear fission?
Well... It depends on what you mean by "a lot". The binding energy released from a fusion event is actually only about four times that of a fission event, however, the density of the much lighter elements involved in fusion (hydrogen) versus fission (uranium) results in a much more effective total mass to energy ratio, much more than a hundred times that of fission.I'm not talking about delta-mass to energy - that is constant per e = mc2 - I'm talking about the total fuel mass versus the amount of energy available in the reaction.
What is the main advantage of fission?
Fission releases a large amount of energy from a small amount of material

What amount of energy is produced during nuclear fisson?
Each fission of a U235 nucleus produces 200 Mev which in terms of Joules is 3.2 x 10-11 Joules. This is a very small amount, which shows just how many fissions are occurring every second, for a reactor which produces 3000 Mw thermal
One valueable characteristic of fission is the amount of energy released for each disintergrating atom is?
About 200 Mev per fission, which is a very small amount but then many many nuclei are fissioned per second
What process takes place when uranium -235 splits into two smaller nuclei plus neutrons?
The process is called nuclear fission. When uranium-235 splits, it releases a large amount of energy along with smaller nuclei and multiple neutrons. This chain reaction continues as these neutrons can cause additional uranium-235 atoms to undergo fission.
Why does nuclear fission release energy?
Nuclear fission releases energy because when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, a small amount of mass is converted into a large amount of energy according to Einstein's famous equation, Emc2.
What is good about fission?
Very powerful source of energy, very small amount replaces many tons of fossil fuels.
Where does the small amount of technetium from the earth come from?
Two causes are possible: - spontaneous fission of uranium - a reaction (n, gamma) of molybdenum
What has the author G J Small written?
G J. Small has written: 'Fission gas release from uranium dioxide during transient heating'
Why don't nuclear power plants need much fuel?
Nuclear power plants utilize a process called nuclear fission, where a small amount of uranium fuel generates a large amount of energy. This is because the energy released during fission is several million times greater than the energy released in chemical reactions, such as burning fossil fuels. As a result, nuclear power plants require relatively small quantities of fuel to produce large amounts of electricity.
What is the advantage of a nuclear-fission reactor compared to other types of power generation?
One advantage of a nuclear-fission reactor is that it can generate a large amount of energy from a small amount of fuel, making it a more efficient and cost-effective option compared to other types of power generation.
