Define Nuclear Fission

• Nuclear fission is the decay of radioactive materials without energy release.
• Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller parts, releasing energy.
• Nuclear fission is the process of capturing neutrons to stabilize an atom.
• Nuclear fission is the fusion of atomic nuclei to form a larger nucleus.
