| nuclear fission |
The division of the nuclei of isotopes of certain heavy elements, such as uranium and plutonium, effected by bombardment with neutrons. Nuclear fission causes the release of energy, additional neutrons, and an enormous quantity of heat. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. A by product of nuclear fission is toxic radioactive waste. See also nuclear fusion.
