actually i think you are right
the strong forcess are so linited in such a tiny volume that
it is impossible to examine them and in sub distsnces
of the tiny distance !!! (:-)
now a mistake (or a misunderstanding )of the OP
while the nuc or part of it leaves the main body nuc
it gets energy AND MASS BECUASE ENERGY IS MASS IN MOTION ...
so it gets it from its envirinment
or else it cannot split from the nuc
there is a need of outside energy
in order of cutting something from the nuc
(the 'spontanious' split is another story for itself - but may be not
much difference in principle for the 'igniting' issue )
