What defines the mass number of an isotope

The mass number of an isotope is determined by the number of neutrons in the isotope plus the number of protons.
For instance Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon. The "13" is the mass number of the isotope.
So, in this example, 13 = #protons + #neutrons

This is what i found “nuclear fuel is material used in nuclear power stations to produce heat to power turbines. heat is created when nuclear fuel undergoes nuclear fission. most nuclear fuels contain heavy fissile actinide elements that are capable of undergoing and sustaining nuclear fission.” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
