The primary result of a fission reaction is the conversion of mass to energy. In fission, the nucleus split, either through radioactive decay or as result of being bombarded by other subatomic particles known as neutrons.

∙ 14y agoFission is the process of that creates a nuclear chain reaction, usually done by firing a neutron into a uranium atom. the uranium atom absorbs the neutron splitting into 2 lighter elements and additional neutrons. this sets of a chain reaction with other uranium atoms and releases vast amounts of energy.

What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
What are the two types of nuclear reaction?
Nuclear Fission & Nuclear fusion.
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
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.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
What is the most common nuclear reaction?
Nuclear fission.
What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
What are the two types of nuclear reaction?
Nuclear Fission & Nuclear fusion.
Is the bomb little boy a fission or fusion reaction?
Little Boy is a Nuclear Fission Reaction
