    1) Nuclear reactions can result in more stable daughter nuclei through increasing binding energy and decreasing total mass. 2) This mass defect is converted to kinetic energy, releasing energy from the nuclear reaction. 3) For reactions to occur spontaneously, the parent nuclei must have a minimum kinetic energy to overcome the mass difference between parent and daughter nuclei.
