| Element 109 is named meitnerium, for Lise Meitner, who was the first to realize that uranium undergoes nuclear fission. |
| Imagine an energy source that is more powerful than nuclear fission or even nuclear fusion. |
| An atomic bomb is a weapon of mass destruction which uses nuclear fission to produce vast amounts of energy. |
| Health officials did not test for Strontium 90, a radioactive carcinogenic byproduct of nuclear fission. |
| Nuclear fusion reactions are like nuclear fission reactions, therefore, in the respect that some quantity of mass is transformed into energy. |
| The simple atom bomb owed its explosive power to the energy released by nuclear fission, or fusion. |
