Heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei
Higher in products than original heavy nucleus
Decrease in total mass during fission process
Rare natural fission without external trigger
Binding energy change or mass defect using E=mc2E=mc^2E=mc2
1extu=931.5extMeV1 ext{ u} = 931.5 ext{ MeV}1extu=931.5extMeV
Products move toward BE curve peak, gaining binding energy
Medium-sized nuclei, still greater than 56
Approximately 172 MeV
Products more tightly bound than original nucleus
