Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are two types of nuclear reactions. Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms of heavy elements like uranium, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion combines light element atoms like hydrogen, forming heavier elements while releasing energy. Both fission and fusion can be used to generate nuclear power but have different requirements and byproducts.
