A nuclear reaction is a process from physics . In it , two or more particles collide .

If the particles collide and separate without changing , the process is called an elastic collision rather than a reaction .


Nuclear reactors use nuclear reactions to make heat and electricity .

Perhaps the most notable nuclear reactions are the nuclear chain reaction that produces nuclear fission , and the nuclear fusion reactions that power the energy production of the Sun and stars . Both of these types of reactions are employed in nuclear weapons .


Other than radioactive decay , there are very few nuclear reactions that occur outside of these special places on earth .

On Earth , nuclear reactions initiated by radioactive decay produce nucleogenic isotopes rather than the radiogenic daughter isotopes of simple decay . Unlike radioactive decay , nuclear reactions can be employed artificially to obtain nuclear energy , at an adjustable rate , on demand .
