'''Nuclear Fission''' is the process of splitting heavy atomic nuclei (such as uranium or plutonium) into lighter nuclei, releasing significant energy. In the [[Fusion Girl]] setting, fission technology is fundamental to [[Clan Tho'ra|Tho'ra]] power systems — most critically the [[Fission Core]].

== Principle ==
When a heavy nucleus absorbs a neutron, it can become unstable and split into two or more lighter nuclei, releasing:
* '''Kinetic energy''' of the fission fragments
* '''Neutrons''' (which can trigger chain reactions)
* '''Gamma radiation'''

This chain reaction, when controlled, provides a steady, reliable energy output — the foundation of the [[Fission Core]].

== Tho'ra Applications ==

=== Fission Core ===
The [[Fission Core]] is the most important fission application in Tho'ra technology. Mounted at the lower-back center of the [[Fusion Engine Suit]], the Fission Core:
* Provides '''baseline continuous power''' for all suit systems
* Operates as the steady "heartbeat" while [[Micro Fusion Flash Cell|Flash Cells]] handle peak loads
* Enables the suit's naturally-aspirated firing sequence

=== Relationship to Fusion ===
Fission and [[Nuclear Fusion|fusion]] are complementary in Tho'ra engineering:

! Property !! Fission !! Fusion
|-
| Process || Splitting heavy nuclei || Combining light nuclei
|-
| Fuel || Heavy elements (uranium, etc.) || Light elements (hydrogen isotopes)
|-
| Tho'ra Application || [[Fission Core]] (baseline power) || [[Micro Fusion Flash Cell]]s (burst power)
|-
| Stability || Very stable, continuous || High output, cycled
|-
| Role in Suit || Foundation || Peak performance
|}

The [[Fusion Engine Suit]] uses ''both'' — fission for reliability, fusion for power — hence the name '''Fusion''' Engine Suit describes the ''philosophy'' of combining systems, not just the nuclear reaction.

== See Also ==
* [[Nuclear Fusion]] — the complementary reaction (redirects to [[Fusion Tech]])
* [[Fission Core]] — the primary fission application
* [[Fusion Engine Suit]] — where fission and fusion work together
* [[Micro Fusion Flash Cell]] — the fusion counterpart
* [[Fusion (Philosophy)]] — why combining systems is central to Tho'ra design
