- Nuclear fission was a human term describing a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus of a large atom split into smaller parts, often producing free neutrons as well as lighter nuclei. The following reaction with other atoms could under certain conditions cause a great release of energy for both power supply and destructive purposes. In pre-Diaspora times on Old Earth, fission acquired a reputation as unsafe, polluting, expensive, and hard to manage. Even 2000 T-years after the Diaspora began, it still had this reputation, and was not used anywhere in the "civilized" universe. Fusion plants had replaced fission plants almost everywhere by the time of the First Havenite-Manticoran War. On Grayson however, fission plants were common as a means of energy production, mostly because Grayson had lost the techniques needed for fusion, and because Grayson was richer in fissionable material than most habitable planets. Establishing relations with Manticore had the effect of introducing a great many lost technologies to Grayson, including fusion. (HH2) From necessity, Grayson engineers had put considerable effort into improving their power plant designs since contact with other planets had become lost. As a result, when contact was reestablished, Grayson style fission plants could be smaller, less complex, and easier to manage than a modern fusion plant of equivalent output. Furthermore, they did not require frequent fueling – about once every decade versus about once every week or month for typical installations and usage patterns. When the Manticoran Alliance introduced its new LAC types at the end of the First Havenite-Manticoran War, they were powered by fission plants because of these virtues. (HH8)

- Nuclear Fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more other nuclei, and sometimes other products come out as well. The fuel is a radioactive element, for example Uranium235, although polonium can be used as well as other elements. One method is where a neutron is fired into uranium 235, to create a chain reaction and to create new elements, which have roughly 100 neutrons each. These elements, as shown are Krypton and Barium. The by-products are three neutrons. Nuclear fission is usually used in chain reactions – this means that the three neutrons that are given out in the reaction are fired into three more U235 nuclei. This means that the energy given in can be relatively small, as the fission provides the energy to fire the neutrons after the first one. Nuclear reactions can either give out energy, or take in energy. Iron and nickel have the most stable nuclei, as their binding energy per neutron is the highest out of all the elements. Because of this, for nuclear fission, the elements above these two will release energy, and those below will take in energy. For nuclear fusion this is vice versa. This is why the elements used in nuclear fission are ones with over 100 neutrons, whereas in nuclear fusion, the elements have very few neutrons in comparison. Nuclear fission power stations are not great big atom bombs, ready to go off, as many people now believe. This is because uranium has different isotopes, and the one needed for reacting, U235, is only 0.7% of all the uranium on Earth; the rest is U238. The atom bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both fission bombs. They used polonium-239 and uranium-235 in the same way that uranium is used to create energy.

You wonder, "Wow, how could anyone make a bomb with such powerful effects?" The answer to that question is Nuclear Fission.
