Nuclear fission.
Explanation: In fission a large, heavy nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei (plus neutrons and energy). Example: U-235 absorbing a neutron → splits into smaller nuclei, releases more neutrons and lots of energy (E = mc²). Fusion is the opposite process — small nuclei combine to form a larger one.
