SCR - self-sustaining chain reaction.
Nuclear chain reaction - single sequence of nuclear reactions, each of which is called a particle, which appeared as a reaction product in the previous step sequence.

An example of a nuclear chain reaction is a chain reaction of fission of nuclei of heavy elements, at which the main number of acts of fission initiated by neutrons, obtained during the fission of nuclei in the previous generation.
