Nuclear Fission & Fusion

Nuclear Fission & Fusion. FISSION : a heavy nucleus splits into 2 lighter nuclei. some elements undergo fission spontaneously some elements can be induced to undergo fission when bombarded with other particles (e.g. neutrons). FUSION : 2 nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.
