"Fission power" refers to a type of power generation that uses nuclear fission, a process where the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This splitting releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat, which is then used to produce electricity. It is a highly efficient and powerful way of generating energy, commonly used in nuclear power plants.
