Concept Introduction:
Some of the heavy radioactive nuclides are very unstable. They undergo decay in two ways, one is alpha decay and another is splitting of the nucleus and a large amount of energy is released. Again, some of the heavy nuclides not undergo fission spontaneously but will undergo if irradiated or bombarded with neutron. When the heavy radioactive nuclides are broken into two or more nucleus by the bombardment with some number of neutrons is called fission reaction. In fission reactor, suitable heavy radioactive metals are bombarded with neutrons and chain fission reaction was done to produce energy.
