Nuclear Fission. By {$creator}

Nuclear Fission is an atomic process which is used to split atoms and generate large amounts of energy. This is how it works: 1. A neutron is fired at a (preferably) radioactive element with a large atomic mass. 2. The target atom splits into multiple parts, sending out neutrons toward other atoms.



3. [In the case of Nuclear Power:] 3A. The energy emitted from the split turns into heat. 3B. The heat is used to boil water to steam. 3C. The steam is used to spin a turbine, which is connected to a generator, which produces the power.

Nuclear Fission creates highly toxic and radioactive products which must be contained/disposed of, or else they are extremely bad for the local ecosystem.
