Nuclear fission. Conceptual computer artwork of an atom being split through nuclear,or atomic,fission (splitting). Electrons (orange) can be seen orbiting the nucleus (centre),made up of protons (yellow) and neutrons (blue). Nuclear fission is a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This often causes free neutrons to be emitted (lower right,blue) and results in lighter nuclei. The splitting of the nucleus can produce a vast amount of energy,used for nuclear power and nuclear weapons | |
