A nuclear chain reaction occurs when a single neutron splits an atom, releasing energy and additional neutrons that trigger subsequent fissions. This self-sustaining process powers nuclear reactors, generating electricity for homes, hospitals, and industries. It also drives medical isotope production and scientific research. Beneficiaries include energy consumers, healthcare providers, and researchers, though careful control is essential for safety.
