Simply put, fission is the division of one atom into two, and fusion is the combination of two lighter atoms into a larger one. They are opposing processes, and therefore very different. (Merriam-Webster Online, www.m-w.com). Nuclear fission releases heat energy by splitting atoms. The surprising discovery that it was possible to make a nucleus divide was based on Albert Einsteinâs prediction that mass could be changed into energy. In 1939, scientist began experiments, and one year later Enrico Fermi built the first nuclear reactor.
It is a nuclear reaction that is just the opposite of fission as instead of splitting, here two light nuclei are joined together under extreme heat and pressure. Here, two hydrogen nuclei are combined together to get a single helium nucleus. The reaction releases huge amount of energy.
