Which statement about nuclear fission is false?

a: nuclear fission takes place in the core of the stars

b: the fuel for nuclear fission is often uranium

c: nuclear fission releases large amount of energy

d: nuclear fission is used to generate electricity at nuclear power plants

d: nuclear fission is used to generate electricity at nuclear power plants

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is obtained by radioactive decay or nuclear reaction in which nucleus of an atom split into two or more nuclie.

Nuclear energy in nuclear power planst is result of nuclear fission process. In nuclear power plants, uranium atoms undergo process of nuclear fission and split into several nuclie, which generates heat and produces steam. The steam is then used by the turbine to generate electricity.

Hence, the correct option is d.
