In general, nuclear energy can be produced through two kinds of mechanisms, namely the core fission or fission reaction and the incorporation of some of the core through a fusion reaction. Here will be discussed one of the mechanisms of production of nuclear energy, namely nuclear fission reactions.
A nucleus is pounded by heavy particles (neutrons) can be split into two lighter nuclei and some other particles. Such mechanism is called fission cores or nuclear fission. An example is the uranium fission reaction

 

 

Uranium fission reaction as above to produce a neutron in addition to the two lighter nuclei. These neutrons can hit the (absorbed) returned by the uranium nucleus to form the next fission. This mechanism continues to occur in a very fast form of uncontrolled chain reaction. As a result, there was a large release of energy in a short time. This mechanism occurring within the nuclear bomb that produces a powerful explosion. Thus, the fission reaction can form an uncontrollable chain reaction that has tremendous potential for explosive power and can be made in the form of a nuclear bomb.

Compared formed in the form of a nuclear bomb, the release of energy produced through fission reactions can be used for things more useful. For that, a chain reaction that occurs in the fission reaction must be made more controllable. This business can be done in a nuclear reactor. Uncontrolled chain reaction may be commercialized take place in the reactor which their safety and the energy produced can be utilized for more useful purposes, such as for research and to generate electricity.

 


In a controlled fission reaction, the number of neutrons is restricted so that only one neutron that will be absorbed to the next core division. With this mechanism, obtained by controlled chain reaction that produces energy that can be exploited for useful purposes.
