10 cards from this deck
Light nuclei combine to form heavier nucleus, releasing energy
Heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei, releasing energy
Fusion: 0.7%, Fission: 0.1% (fusion 7x more efficient)
Iron-56 (56^{56}56Fe)
Both move toward iron-56, increasing binding energy per nucleon
Energy needed to separate nucleus into individual nucleons
Mass difference converted to energy via E=Δmc2E = \Delta mc^2E=Δmc2
