    The document discusses various topics relating to nuclear energy and nuclear fission. It defines nuclear fission as a process where an atom splits into two or more nuclei. It also describes fissionable materials as those that can undergo spontaneous fission or be converted to fissionable isotopes. Additionally, it explains that a nuclear chain reaction occurs when one nuclear reaction causes one or more additional reactions in a self-sustaining series. A nuclear reactor is defined as a device used to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction, with uranium and plutonium generally used as nuclear fuels.

    NUCLEAR FISSION
    NUCLEAR FISSION IS A PROCESS IN WHICH A NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM BREAKS INTO TWO OR MORE NUCLEI. IN 1934, FIRST FISSION PROCESS WAS DISCOVERED THROUGH BOMBARDMENT OF URANIUM ISOTOPE. IN 1951, ELECTRICITY WAS GENERATED FROM THE NUCLEAR REACTOR (100KW).

    NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION


    A NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION OCCURS WHEN ONE NUCLEAR REACTION CAUSES ONE OR MORE REACTIONS. THUS LEADING TO A SELF SUSTAINING SERIES OF REACTIONS. INTERACTION BETWEEN NEUTRONS AND FISSIONABLE ISOTOPE.
