The discovery of nuclear fission in the 1930s paved the way for the development of nuclear weapons and nuclear power reactors.
Nuclear fission is a process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy.
Nuclear fission is also used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging and cancer treatment through techniques such as radiotherapy.
Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 are commonly used as fuel in nuclear fission reactors.
The chain reaction in a nuclear fission reactor is carefully controlled to ensure that the energy released is harnessed for electricity generation without causing a runaway reaction.
