  Nuclear fission

  Nuclear fission is a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei.

• 
  Beta decay

  In nuclear physics, beta decay (β-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits a beta particle, transforming into an isobar of that nuclide.

  Isotopes of fermium

  Fermium (100Fm) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given.

• 
  Spontaneous fission

  Spontaneous fission (SF) is a form of radioactive decay in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei.
