Question

Nuclear fission is used to generate water at nuclear power plants.
Nuclear fission takes place in the nucleus of atoms.
Nuclear fission releases small amount of energy.
The fuel for nuclear fission is often helium.

Answer 1

The correct statement about nuclear fission is:

Nuclear fission takes place in the nucleus of atoms.

The other statements are incorrect. Nuclear fission does not primarily generate water (it generates heat), it releases a large amount of energy, and the fuel for nuclear fission is typically uranium or plutonium, not helium.
