Do fusion powers nuclear reactors?
No. Our reactors are fission reactors. We haven't yet mastered fusion reactors for power.
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
How is Nuclear fusion used?
In test reactors.
Are nuclear fusion dangerus?
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
How are they different from regular nuclear reactors?
Please elaborate on "they" as no comparison can be given otherwise. Do you mean?: "How is nuclear fusion different from regular nuclear reactors (nuclear fission?)"
What caused the nuclear reactors to explode?
The nuclear reactors did not explode. The problem was that the cooling system failed, and they overheated. Some water got so hot that it split into hydrogen and oxygen, and the hydrogen burned in the oxygen, which cause it to "pop"
Where has nuclear fusion been used?
Mostly in test reactors, though some operational reactors (though only a small number) are in service. Also, if you have ever heard of an H-bomb, or a hydrogen bomb, that is nuclear fusion.
What does nuclear energy include?
Mostly power plants operating with fission reactors. Also experiments with nuclear fusion, and nuclear weapons
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
What is a major disadvantage of using nuclear fusion reactors?
Today these installations are not surely controlled.
Is nuclear fusion dangerous?
yes because it will explode and kill people
What does energy includes?
Mostly power plants operating with fission reactors. Also experiments with nuclear fusion, and nuclear weapons
