which are also radioactive so they 
also decay, and so on. Releasing 
radiation at each decay. The two 
neutrons produced can* then cause 
another U^{235} atom to undergo 
fission with the release of two more 
neutrons which can* cause fission 
and so on, and so on, with large 
amounts of energy released at each 
fission. 
So there is a chain reaction that can
