Answer 3

Not sure if I'm right.
It is either uranium "fusion" or "fission" .
I'm not sure which one is process where nucleus of uranium breaks apart then produces a large amount of energy ..

Answer 4

fission = breaking apart

fusion = fusing together (what happens in the sun, but we've recently have been able to replicate here on earth)
