Understanding Nuclear Fission: The Process of Neutron-Induced Reactions

Nuclear fission is a powerful reaction that occurs when an unstable nucleus absorbs an incoming slow neutron. This absorption renders the nucleus unstable, causing it to oscillate and eventually split into two large fragments along with the release of 2 or 3 additional neutrons. This chain reaction results in a significant release of energy, as mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc². This process is fundamental to nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons, showcasing the potent energy locked within atomic nuclei.
