Very fast moving particles (though not too fast) hit the nucleus of big atoms. The big atoms break apart and release a ton of energy. Do with that energy what you want.

"Demon Core"
 Harry Daghlian  During an experiment on August 21, 1945, Daghlian was attempting to build a neutron reflector manually by stacking a set of 4.4-kilogram (9.7 lb) tungsten carbide bricks in an incremental fashion around a plutonium core. The purpose of the neutron reflector was to reduce the mass required for the plutonium core to attain criticality. He was moving the final brick over the assembly, but neutron counters alerted Daghlian to the fact that the addition of that brick would render the system supercritical. As he withdrew his hand, he inadvertently dropped the brick onto the center of the assembly. Since the assembly was nearly in the critical state, the accidental addition of that brick caused the reaction to go immediately into the prompt critical region of neutronic behavior. This resulted in a criticality accident. Daghlian reacted immediately after dropping the brick and attempted to knock the brick off the assembly without success. He was forced to disassemble part of the tungsten-carbide pile in order to halt the reaction. Daghlian was estimated to have received a dose of 510 rem (5.1 Sv) of neutron radiation, from a yield of 1016 fissions. Despite intensive medical care, he developed symptoms of severe radiation poisoning, and his sister and widowed mother were flown out to care for him. He fell into a coma and died 25 days after the accident. He was the first known fatality caused by a criticality accident. His body was returned to New London, where he was buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery.  |

Crudely speaking
(1) An atom consists of a nucleus comprising protons and neutrons surrounded by a sea of electrons (2) A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge and a neutron is neutral (3) A stable atom is in effect balanced with respect to protons and electrons (positive and negative attracted to each other) and the spacing between the nucleus and its orbiting electrons is energy dependant e.g. an electron close to the nucleus will require a lot of energy to remove it (stronger force of attraction) relative to an electron a long way from the nucleus (weaker force of attraction). (4) By splitting the atom nucleus with a fast moving neutron you release some of the energy that held it together and form two new nuclei (two new elements) (5) A large atom, with large numbers of protons and electrons (e.g. Plutonium has a nucleus containing 94 protons) if split by a neutron, will release more energy than a small atom. (6) The energy released being proportional to the mass and the speed of light squared. (7) On splitting the atom, neutrons will be released that move on to split other atoms (8) In a nuclear reactor the fission process is moderated by the use of graphite, the graphite absorbs neutrons and thereby limits the fission process. If sufficient graphite rods are inserted into a reactor they will absorb all neutrons and terminate the fission process. Conversely, if the reactor core is not moderated, the rate of fission increases exponentially to the point where it can no longer be moderated and you get Chernobyl. |

As you know, when atoms are split, there are a lot of pluses and minuses released. Well, we've taken these and put them in a huge container and separated them from each other with a lead shield. When the box is dropped out of a plane, we melt the lead shield and the pluses and minuses come together. When that happens, it causes a tremendous bolt of lightning and all the atmosphere over a city is pushed back! Then when the atmosphere rolls back, it brings about a tremendous thunderclap, which knocks down everything beneath it.

You dig this stuff out of the ground and you refine it a little, then you put it in this big building with a funny looking tower with steam and kind of smash it together and abundant cheap electricity comes out.
So it’s bad and we can’t have it. |

Pool, but the balls are made of c4 and you have a bunch of racks right next to each other, that are also made of c4.
Surround that shit with water and it will boil that water that spins a turbine with a magent in the middle of a bunch of copper wire that makes electricity. You stop the explosions by lowering steel rods between the racks so the billiards can't hit the ones next to em. |

A free neutron can be captured by an atom, making that atom heavier.
Atoms can become highly unstable at all but a few specific weights. Large atoms are heavier than the sum of their parts! The extra mass is potential energy. By increasing the weight of a heavy atom by exposing it to neutrons, it can cause it to absorb a neutron and go from stable to unstable. When an unstable atom breaks apart, it will release it’s parts, as well as the additional weight above the sum of its parts as energy, according to E=MC^2 where M is the mass difference between the atom and it’s parts. This can release more neutrons , which if sufficient to cause a growing chain reaction is called prompt critical. BOOM! Or the parts of the parent molecule may itself be unstable, and when they decay seconds, minutes, or hours later, may release delayed neutrons, which can keep the nuclear reaction sustained on time scales that allow it to be controlled. |

Everything is OK when you see your MIL briefly, but you don't have to actually talk or stay in the same room too long.
Things can get uncomfortably warm at the Thanksgiving dinner table, even if you are at opposite sides of the table. Now if you have to ride in a car with her for four hours, shit is going to build until there is an explosion. |

Fissile material, such as uranium 235. Fissile, meaning, radioactive. Radioactive meaning alpha decay, in the form of neutrons and protons.
If you put enough U235 in the same place, those decay neutrons will hit the neucleii of other nearby U235 atoms and fission, meaning cause them to split. Which, creates heat (and other radioactive by products), but most importantly, more neutrons, that then hit other uranium atoms, in a chain. There is some other stuff about fast vs slow neutrons, moderators, etc. So you can have a controlled "slow burn" type reaction, such as in a nuclear reactor, or you can have a critical mass type reaction, such as in a fission bomb. Comes down the purity, density and volume of the uranium. |
