fissioning cause the surfaces of the two pieces to begin to react before a full critical mass is formed (middle). Because of this, a small explosion results, destroying the containment apparatus and sending the bulk of the material, which did not fission, away from itself, preventing further nuclear reaction. This explosion would be much smaller than a full nuclear explosion and result in the dispersal of expensive nuclear material.
