Answer:

Nuclear Fission.

Step-by-step explanation:

This happens when a high-energy particle collides with a radioisotope, which splits into 2 daughter nuclei, several neutrons (which can collide with more radioisotopes to cause a chain reaction); and a lot of energy. That's why nuclear power plants are so good.
