Nuclear Fission v. Nuclear Fusion Similarities DIfferences Both fission and fusion generate energy. During both processes neutrons are released. Both processes create elements with a lesser mass. Both fusion and fission processes are capable of creating a nuclear bomb. Nuclear Fission When large unstable nuclei decompose into smaller stable nuclei. Produces a lot of radioactive particles. Nuclear Fusion A nuclear reaction when a larger nucleus forms when the nuclei of two atoms fuse together
