What is another word for fissionable?
Pronunciation: [fˈɪʃənəbə͡l] (IPA) 
Fissionable is a term used to describe materials capable of undergoing nuclear fission, which is the process of splitting an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller fragments. Some synonyms for fissionable include fissile, divisible, and splittable. Fissile materials are capable of sustaining a chain reaction of nuclear fission, making them highly valuable for use in nuclear power plants and weapons. Other materials that are splittable or divisible may not sustain a chain reaction, but they can still undergo fission under certain conditions. Identifying which materials are fissionable is important for safety and regulatory purposes in the handling and storage of nuclear materials.
