It most commonly refers to nuclear fission, the process where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy. This phenomenon is fundamental to nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons.
In the context of nuclear physics, lõhustumine is typically induced by bombarding a heavy, unstable atomic
The energy released during lõhustumine is a consequence of the difference in binding energy between the heavy
Beyond nuclear physics, the term lõhustumine can also be used in a more general sense to describe
