What else can I help you with?
Does nuclear power plants uses nuclear fusion?
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
Compare the role of nuclear fusion in the formation of Earth's naturally occurring elements and in the creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory?
Creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory is not based on nuclear fusion.
Why us fusion not used to generate electrical power?
Today nuclear fusion is not controlled at industry scale.
What percentage is nuclear fusion used in the US?
0% No country gets any of its energy from fusion as nobody has figured out how to build a controlled fusion reactor.
Does nuclear fusion occur in nuclear reactor?
No. "Reactors" contain fission reactions. No useful way of containing fusionon an industrial scale outside the laboratory has been developed yet.Edit: Tomak fusion reactors currently produce 10 times the energy that is put into them. The historical increase into the gain of fusion reactors has bettered the increase of capacity of DRAMs. The only reason that that it "isn't out of the laboratory" is because when you build a fusion reactor, it is usually called a laboratory.
What has the author William P Allis written?
William P Allis has written: 'Nuclear fusion' -- subject(s): Collected works, Controlled fusion
Is nuclear fusion experimental?
Fusion power is definitely still in the experimental stage; so far it takes more energy to get the fuel to fuse in a controlled way than is liberated by the fusion.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reaction?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is nuclear fusion used for nuclear power?
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).
Where would you find a nuclear fusion reaction occurring?
Nuclear fusion reactions occur in the core of stars, including the Sun, where high pressure and temperature conditions allow hydrogen atoms to combine and release a tremendous amount of energy. Scientists are also working on creating controlled nuclear fusion in experimental reactors on Earth as a potential source of sustainable energy.
