Summary

Simple diagram of nuclear fission. In the first frame, a neutron is about to collide with the nucleus of a U-235 atom. In the second frame, the neutron has been absorbed and briefly turned the nucleus into an unstable U-236 atom. In the third frame, the U-236 atom has fissioned, resulting in two fission fragments (Ba-141 and Kr-92), three neutrons, and the release of energy due to the conversion of matter to energy (E = mc²).
