No absolutely positively safe and reliable methods of controlling it and containing it have been
perfected yet.
If you think people are afraid of some radioactive air or water leaking from a fission plant,
think how they'd feel about the possibility of a fusionreaction breaking out of the bottle,
just a couple of miles outside of town !

∙ 8y agoIt takes tremendous heat and pressure to get nuclear fusion to occur. This heat and pressure is typically available in the cores of sufficiently massive stars. We have produced fusion reactions on earth by surrounding hydrogen isotopes with fission bombs. The heat and pressure cause the gas to fuse, liberating even more energy.
We are getting close to designing a workable fusion reactor. When we achieve this, there is sufficient deuterium (a heavy isotope of hydrogen) to meet the world's energy needs for thousands of years.

Is Nuclear fusion the source of energy?
It is the source of the sun's energy
Is nuclear fusion in the sun wind energy?
No. However, the ultimate source of wind energy is indeed nuclear fusion in the Sun.
Is the energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy?
The energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy is true. Nuclear fusion is mass that is converted to energy and nuclei combinations.
How does hospital us nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is not a practical source of energy yet, though it may be in the distant future
What is the sun's source of enegry?
The Sun's energy is generated by nuclear fusion, the fusion of hydrogen into helium in the core of the Sun.
Is Nuclear fusion the source of energy?
It is the source of the sun's energy
Primary source of the suns energy is?
The primary source of the suns energy is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Earth.
What is the major source of energy the sun now produces?
Nuclear fusion.
Which nuclear reactions is the source of the sums energy?
Nuclear fusion
What is the source of energy in a star?
nuclear fusion
What is the source of a star energy?
nuclear fusion
Which of the following is the main energy source for our sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of the sun's energy.
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is nuclear fusion in the sun wind energy?
No. However, the ultimate source of wind energy is indeed nuclear fusion in the Sun.
Is the energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy?
The energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy is true. Nuclear fusion is mass that is converted to energy and nuclei combinations.
What percent of the US' energy does nuclear fusion supply?
The nuclear fusion is not used now as a source of energy; probable possible in a far future.
What is the source of stars energy?
Nuclear fusion, usually by fusing hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
