What does not occur during nuclear fission?

  1. a. Release of energy

  2. b. Splitting of atomic nuclei

  3. c. Generation of radioactive byproducts

  4. d. Energy consumption

The correct answer is: d. Energy consumption

During nuclear fission, the nuclei of atoms split, causing the release of energy and the generation of radioactive byproducts. Energy consumption does not occur during nuclear fission and is therefore not a correct choice. The other options are all essential components of the nuclear fission process.
