Atomic power is confusing
You chop an atom, you get energy
You jam two atoms so hard that they clump together, you get energy
Is there anything you do with atomic nucleus that doesn't release energy in some way
Seems like a convenient plot device...

@koakuma I
am not sure if this was a serious question
but you and also everyone should know about photodisintegration
it absolutely absorbs energy at least in the context of supernova

@electrocutie Unserious phrasing, serious thoughts
Cus it feels weird to me still that both fusion and fission releases energy when they're based on completely opposite mechanisms
