it has to do with the fact that the nucleus of an atom is consist of neutrons and protons. But the protons are all positively charge and thus will repel each other due to electrostatic forces. However, once the number of nucleons reaches "saturation" (there is enough of them), then the strong nuclear force takes over and overcomes the electrostatic repulsion force.
