    The chemical reaction that creates nuclear power is known as nuclear fission. When uranium is blasted with fast-moving atoms known as neutrinos‚ they become unstable and split‚ releasing more fast-moving neutrinos and energy in the form of radiation (Redd). When nuclear fission occurs‚ there are byproducts of the fuel known as fission products. Fission products are highly radioactive and will be such
