Answer:

The answer is Nuclear Fission

Step-by-step explanation:

Fission is a nuclear reaction that occurs when a heavy nucleus is divided into two or more smaller nuclei, in addition to some by-products such as free neutrons, photons and other fragments of the nucleus such as alpha and beta particles in addition to a large amount of energy. Heavy-core fission is an exothermic process that releases substantial amounts of energy, generating much more energy than that released in conventional chemical reactions.
