Fission and Fusion
... In this example, a stray neutron strikes an atom of U-235. It absorbs the neutron and becomes an unstable atom of U-236. It then undergoes fission. Notice that more neutrons are released in the reaction. These neutrons can strike other U-235 atoms to initiate their fission. ...

Fusion or Fission
... get it started. In the right conditions, it can sustain itself, once started. One of the benefits of fusion reactions is that there are no radioactive byproducts. On earth, fusion reactions result in the element helium. Heavier elements, like beryllium or carbon, are produced by fusion in stars. Hyd ...
