No, not yet. Maybe in another 20 years when its perfected (which they have been saying every 20 years since they originally began work in the 1950s on lab prototypes of controlled nuclear fusion reactors for power generation).
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
Nuclear fusion is used in some nuclear power plants that can handle the heat and radiation without suffering a meltdown. You should check out nuclear fission in power plants first.
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
Today nuclear fusion is not controlled at industry scale.
Fusion power is the power generated by the nuclear fusion processes. Fusion power is a primary area of researc in plasma physics. For example, the sun is a natural fusion reactor.
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
Nuclear fusion
Thermonuclear Fusion - Nuclear fusion brought about by high temperatures
What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.
Nuclear fusion has been used for nuclear transformation, which is the production of new materials by fusion, and for the type of specific type of transformation called nuclear synthesis, which is the production of materials not normally found in nature. It has been used in nuclear bombs, specifically fusion bombs or hydrogen bombs. There is hope that nuclear fusion can be used to provide power for generation of electricity, though this has not yet been achieved in a practical system. There is a link below to an article on nuclear fusion.
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
