C. Fission: may create radioactive nuclei, may undergo a chain reaction Fusion: energy source for stars Fission and fusion: large amount of energy produced
Nuclear power stations use the heat released by nuclear reactions to boil water to make steam. The type of nuclear reaction used is called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission: 1  A neutron collides with a uranium nucleus. 2  A uranium nucleus is large and unstable. 3  The uranium nucleus splits into two similar-sized smaller nuclei. 4  More neutrons are released. 5  These neutrons can then collide with more uranium nuclei.
