binding energy curve

From the curve of binding energy, the heaviest nuclei are less stable than the nuclei near A=60. This suggests that energy can be released if heavy nuclei split apart into smaller nuclei having masses nearer A=60. This process is called fission. It is the process that powers atomic bombs and nuclear power reactors.
