#""_92^233U->""_90^229Th+""_2^4He#

In the equation of a nuclear reaction total mass number of the species (nuclides) as well as their total nuclear charge in LHS will be equal to the total mass number of the species as well as their total nuclear charge in RHS following the the law of Conservation of Nuclear Number which states that the sum of protons and neutrons among species before and after a nuclear reaction will be the same.
