Fission and Fusion Fission is a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus
splits, or fissions, into fragments, usually two fragments of comparable mass,
with the release of large amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
Energy can also be produced by combining light nuclei in a process is called
nuclear fusion |

Fission Nuclear Fission Animation, A stable atom of Uranium-235 becomes an
unstable (radioactive) atom of Uranium-236 when it absorbs a neutron. The
nucleus of an unstable U-236 atom breaks apart spontaneously, releasing a large
amount of energy, nuclei of two lighter elements, and three neutrons |

Fission Nuclear Fission Animation.
In nuclear fission, a heavy atomic nucleus, such as that of uranium or
plutonium, will break up into two lighter nuclei. In the fission process, a
large quantity of energy is released, radioactive products are formed, and
several neutrons are emitted |

Fusion
Fusion is a nuclear process in which two light atoms fuse together to make a
larger one. During this process, a lot of energy is released, which comes from
the strong forces acting in the nucleus. In the animation, a deuterium nucleus
(an isotope of hydrogen), fuses together with a tritium nucleus (another isotope
of hydrogen) to form a helium nucleus, and a single neutron, swf file |

Nuclear Fission
During fission the uranium atom splits into two roughly equal parts, known as
'fission products'. Spare neutrons are also released, along with heat from the
energy holding the atom together |

power plant generation
Now that energy has been released through nuclear fission, it needs to be
captured somehow. All that energy within the reactor is captured by water pipes
surrounding the reactor. The water passes through the heat exchanger, which will
transfer heat from the reactor water to fresh water. The fresh water will turn
into steam, which will drive a turbine connected to a generator to create
electricity |

Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR)
Pressurized Water Reactor animation, PWRs
keep water under pressure so that it heats, but does not boil. Water from the
reactor and the water in the steam generator that is turned into steam never
mix. In this way, most of the radioactivity stays in the reactor area |
