In fission reactions, electrostatic repulsion wins. Fission is a process that has been occurring in the universe for billions of years. As mentioned above, we have not only used fission to produce energy for nuclear bombs, but we also use fission peacefully everyday to produce energy in nuclear power plants.

Many nuclear reactors use uranium as fuel to generate electricity. ... As many as five neutrons can be released in a reaction, but the average number is 2.5. These neutrons are used to sustain the chain reaction in the reactor: neutrons don't have to be sent in continually because they are produced in the reactions.

The Use of Nuclear Reactions to Produce Energy ; ... In the previous section we listed four characteristics of radioactivity and nuclear decay that form the basis for the use of radioisotopes in the health and biological sciences. A fifth characteristic of nuclear reactions is that they release enormous amounts of energy.

Now the harvest of clean energy through Nuclear fusion (technology used in Hydrogen Bombs) is still under research . The nuclear fission reaction is just the breaking down of masses uranium atoms into two by the bombardment of neutrons on to it ... In France, it pioneered the use of liquid sodium in fast breeder reactors.

Neutron induced nuclear reactions are known to be responsible for triggering various failures in microelectronics. Nuclear codes are very useful tools, which allow estimating the production of the secondary ions and finally the way that the component is ionized. ... Fr?d?ric Wrobel, ...

This is called barrier penetration or tunneling, and is the means by which many such reactions take place in stars. Nevertheless, because this process happens with very small probability, the Coulomb barrier represents a strong hindrance to nuclear reactions in stars.
