If the nucleus of a heavy atom–such as Uranium–absorbs a neutron, the nucleus can become unstable and split. This is called nuclear fission. Fission releases energy in the form of heat. Although fission can occur naturally, fission as encountered in the modern world is usually a deliberate man-made nuclear reaction.

Hey!!
Nuclear Fission
When the nucleus of an atom splits into lighter nuclei through a nuclear reaction the process is termed as nuclear fission. This decay can be natural or can actually be simulated in a lab by achieving necessary conditions .
✓✓Also, in a nuclear fission reaction neutrons are used up and produced as well. The neutrons produced in the nuclear fission reaction leads to further fission of heavy nuclei and cause chain reaction. If all the neutrons produced during fission of uranium-235 produce further fission, then so much energy will be produced that it will not be controlled and leads to explosion called atom bomb. However, nuclear fission reaction can be controlled by using boron rods as boron can absorb neutrons.
✓Nuclear fission reactions are done to generate electricity at nuclear power plants.
