본문내용
There are two ways of splitting the atom (scission): either by increasing its energy, or by increasing its mass
By adding an extra neutron to the nucleus, mass is increased, and binding energy is consequently reduced to conserve energy. When the binding energy is reduced, the electrostatic repulsion within the nucleus is greater than the binding energy, and the nucleus splits apart
