Nuclear Fission:
Energy of the Future
Nuclear fission occurs when a neutron strikes a uranium-235 nucleus, splitting it into two fragments and releasing an immense amount of energy, along with more neutrons that sustain the chain reaction.
Neutron Impact
A neutron collides with the U-235 nucleus
Nucleus Splitting
The atom becomes unstable and splits
Energy Release
Thermal energy and more neutrons are released
Chain Reaction
The neutrons continue the process
