How Is Fission Achieved? In order to initiate most fission reactions, an atom is bombarded by a neutron to produce an unstable isotope, which undergoes fission. When neutrons are released during the fission process, they can initiate a chain reaction of continuous fission which sustains itself. How is nuclear fission achieved? During nuclear fission, a

What Is The Most Common Nuclear Fusion Reaction? Reactions between deuterium and tritium are the most important fusion reactions for controlled power generation because the cross sections for their occurrence are high, the practical plasma temperatures required for net energy release are moderate, and the energy yield of the reactions are high—17.58 MeV for the
