Questions and Answers

What is the primary process involved in nuclear fission?

  • Transforming nuclear waste into renewable energy
  • Combining smaller nuclei into a larger nucleus
  • Splitting a massive nucleus into smaller nuclei (correct)
  • Releasing energy without a nuclear reaction

What is typically released during a nuclear fission reaction?
