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.

A neutron trigger is used in nuclear fission reactions to initiate the splitting of atomic nuclei. By emitting neutrons, the trigger can start a chain reaction in which other nuclei are split, releasing more neutrons and energy. This process is fundamental to the operation of nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
No, uranium is not the only element that can be used in nuclear fission. Other elements like plutonium and thorium can also undergo nuclear fission reactions. Uranium-235 is the most commonly used isotope, but plutonium-239 and thorium-232 can also sustain fission reactions in certain nuclear reactors.
In the US, about 20 percent of electricity
it might me neutron or atom idk but if u know then improve it thank you ~_~
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Nuclear fission is now commercially available in nuclear fission reactors since the fifties of last century. Nuclear Fusion is still under R&D. Nuclear fission reactors are clean energy source.
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
yes on condition of the availability of the necessary nuclear fission device (nuclear reactors or critical assemblies).

During nuclear fission the atomic nucleus is splitted.
