Renewable nuclear energy

We all know that uranium undergoes fission to produce barium , krypton , and three neutrons.If these products are fused ,...Will they form the original Uranium molecule?? If so, a neutron can bombard with the new uranium to undergo controlled chain reaction.is it possible??????. Please help me.

Doesn't it take an infinitely huge amount of energy to fuse heavier elements?

 

The net energy to fuse would be on order of 200 MeV per reaction, since that's about how much energy is released in fission. The activation energy due to the coulomb barrier is very high, though, so you need that as well, but that energy would be present after the reaction.
