What is the main problem that had to be overcome to make fission power work?

Well I think it gained in power when they invented the outboard motor.
By the way, it’s spelt F I S H I N G.
Uranium comes as a mixture of two isotopes, U238 and U235. The amount of U235 is low, and had to be increased for a nuclear explosion to occur, or for nuclear power to work. Since isotopes are identical chemically, that involved a lot of work to find ways to separate them. Note that nuclear plants, as opposed to bombs, only require that the amount of U235 be increased from about 0.7% to about 4%. For weapons, you need 90%.
Second problem is radioactivity and induced radioactivity, as all the objects near the reactor become radioactive and dangerous.
