That’s what fission is…

fission isn't required for a reactor. literally the radiation of the element is what boils the water. the fuel rod isn't energized or doing any science fiction - they just put the mother fucker in there.
fission is what happens when nuclear bombs are dropped - that is the reaction of splitting an atom.
ffs - if mr. gunderson was here he could school your ass in this.

According to the US Energy Administration and I quote, “All nuclear power plants use fission.” Lol

Nope. Fusion is what the sun does. Bombs are still fission.
