Detailed Solution

Controlled fission reaction takes place in nuclear reaction plants.
It is a reaction in which a large amount of energy is released as a heavy radioactive element splits into smaller elements. For instance, when bombarded by a neutron, uranium splits into krypton and barium, as well as other byproducts and a tremendous amount of energy. This energy can be generated in a nuclear reactor to meet the demand for electrical energy.
Laboratories-Controlled fission is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in nuclear reactors. The functioning of nuclear reactors is supported by these reactions. When heavy nuclei are bombarded with neutrons, they can split into multiple fragments created by lighter nuclei, leading to neutron emission and a significant release of energy. Nuclear fission reaction is the term used to describe this kind of nuclear reaction.
