| "Now you will answer me Hassim or it's back to the duct tape and the stun-gun on your nuts! What is nuclear fission?" | |

 | |  |
| When a nucleus fissions, it splits into several smaller fragments. These fragments, or fission products, are about equal to half the original mass. Two or three neutrons are also emitted. | |

|
 |
 | |  |
| Fission can occur when a nucleus of a heavy atom captures a neutron, or it can happen spontaneously. Now may I please have my camel back and be released to watch Jeopardy, it's American and I love it. | |
