Apologies if the tittle sounds confusing.
Let’s say you have two eggs, each containing a volume of 15 mL. When you smash two eggs together in a bowl, in theory you would have 30 mL worth of volume.
Could this be the same for atoms when they collide in a nuclear reactor? (The volume of egg would be substituted by a magnitude of energy, let’s say 20 J.)
Edit: Can’t believe my ass just confuse between nuclear fusion and fission 💀. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for the answers!

Yes. And E=mc^2 means that the energy comes from *mass* lost, so your two 15 [**g**] eggs will weigh 29.9g and there will be a lot of light.
