What the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE) shows is that charge screening in topologically constrained fermions will occur in the direction of complete charge screening as the strength of a tightly focused magnetic field is increased (the ratio of fermions to magnetic flux quanta). The nucleus is a complex structure of layered fermions. When a magnetic field of sufficiently high strength is applied to the topologically constrained nucleus, charge screening through composite fermion formation will occur on all fermion levels that entail the top level of the nucleus, the layer of the nucleons and the lowest layer of the quarks. This screening will result in both fusion and fission of the nucleus.
