How does a chain reaction occur in nuclear fission?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The fission reaction is U233.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The nuclear fission of each U235atom creates three neutrons, which trigger the nuclear fission of more and more localid="1652506834201" U233atoms in a nuclear chain reaction. The following is a diagram of the chain reaction:
