Fission naturally occurs in certain heavy isotopes, such as uranium-235 and plutonium-239, primarily within the Earth's crust in uranium ore deposits. It can also take place in nuclear reactors and during the explosive processes of supernovae. Additionally, spontaneous fission can occur in very heavy elements like californium-252. However, the most notable natural fission event is found in natural reactors, such as the natural nuclear fission reactor at Oklo in Gabon, which operated about 2 billion years ago.

Does fission occur in the body?

No, fission does not naturally occur in the human body. Fission is a nuclear reaction that involves the splitting of atomic nuclei, which is not a process that happens in biological organisms.

What is the only naturally occurring element used for nuclear fission?

Uranium is the only naturally occurring element used for nuclear fission in commercial nuclear reactors. It is typically found in two isotopes, uranium-235 and uranium-238, with uranium-235 being the primary isotope used for nuclear fission reactions.

What kind of reaction does oxygen undergo fusion or fission?

Oxygen undergoes fusion reactions in the cores of massive stars, where it can fuse into heavier elements. Oxygen does not undergo fission reactions naturally.


Where do nuclear fission and nuclear fission reactions occur naturally?

Fusion ocurs in the stars including our sun. I don't know of fission occurring naturally anywhere, but there is evidence it once did in a few places on earth a long time ago. At that time there would have been more U-235 which has now reduced by decay. It may occur elsewhere in the universe in planets like earth, but we have no way of knowing this.

Do atoms break by human power or naturally?

Atoms can decay naturally but they are generally broken by human power. Atoms can also break during a collision with another atom in an atomic fission or fusion reaction.
