Chernobyl has three syllables: cher-no-byl
The Chernobyl disaster involved a nuclear fission reaction. Fission is the process of splitting atoms to release energy, which is the fundamental reaction in nuclear power plants like the one at Chernobyl. Fusion, on the other hand, involves joining atoms together to release energy and is the process that powers the sun.
