A fission fragment is a term we apply to the "pieces" of an atomic nucleus that appear when a heavy radionuclide fissions. We'd better look a bit more closely to see what's up.
We know that at the extreme upper end of the Periodic Table appear some really heavy elements. We also know that these heavy elements, regardless of which isotope, are all unstable. That means they will eventually decay by some method. One of the decay schemes that a few radionuclides undergo is called spontaneous fission. Spontaneous fission (which is covered in a separate question) is the natural "splitting" of an atomic nucleus approximately in two. This fission will result in the appearance of two ligher nuclei (along with one or more neutrons). It is the two atomic nuclei that appear as a result of the fission process that we call fission fragments.

nuclear fission
If For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly how many additional fission reaction(s).?
To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.
