Answer: Nuclear Fission

Explanation:

Nuclear fission reactions are one of the nuclear reactions in which heavier nuclei splits into two or more lighter nuclei. In these reactions, neutrons are released with a large amount of energy.

General equation for nuclear fission reactions is given by:

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-U}^{A-V}\textrm{Y}+_U^V\textrm{W}+3_0^1n+\text{Energy}$

Nuclear fusion reactions are one of the nuclear reactions in which two or more lighter nuclei combines to form heavier nuclei. In these reactions, large amount of energy is released.
