I was curious if antimatter could undergo nuclear fission/fusion with other antimatter. It makes sense, I was wondering if it would work?

Almost all particles are believed to behave identically between matter and anti-matter - in fact a number of Nobel prizes were awarded for finding the few exceptions.
So as far as we know anti hydrogen- anti hydrogen fusion should work just the same
Anti-matter fission is probably a little way off, it's going to take quite a bit of money/time/energy to make a critical mass of anti-Uranium 235
