Source sentences:
text: Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same.
text: In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller, lighter nuclei.
text: Fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of a heavy atom, such as uranium, breaks down into two particles that are of about the same size and of medium mass.
text: Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are nuclear reactions that release the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
text: In nuclear physics, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process.
text: Both fusion and fission are nuclear reactions.
text: It is clear that both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but they are opposite of each other.
text: Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei).
text: Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of radioactive atoms break down (undergo fission), releasing neutrons which then crash into other atoms, causing them to break down and release even more neutrons.
