uranium-235 atom absorbs a bombarding neutron, causing its nucleus to split apart into two atoms of lighter mass. At the same time, the fission reaction releases thermal and radiant energy, as well as releasing more neutrons. The newly released neutrons go on to bombard other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself over and over.
These are the different uranium isotopes. Isotopes of uranium contain 92 protons in the atom's center or nucleus. (The number of protons in the nucleus is what makes the atoms uranium.) The U238 atoms contain 146 neutrons, the U235 atoms contain 143 neutrons, and the U234 atoms contain only 142 neutrons. The total number of protons plus neutrons gives the atomic mass of each isotope â that is 238, 235, or 234, respectively.
