SIMPLE NUCLEAR REACTIONS
... A neutron is fired at a large nucleus (usually uranium-235). It is absorbed briefly which makes the unstable isotope of uranium-236. This then splits into two or more smaller nuclei releasing neutrons and energy in the process. The products are radioactive. Ex. uranium-235 + neutron [uranium-236] ...
