This process is known as Nuclear Fission
and it brings with it a considerable amount of irradiated waste --- the process of Fusion is what scientist are hoping to perfect --- this is a process that leaves no irradiated waste and has considerably more yield OF energy !!

Here's a link that will help you with that answer.

It's fission.
Fusion is the combining of atoms.... as the name suggests... they fuse.....
