What else can I help you with?
If Nuclear fission is used to produce electricity why isn't nuclear fusion used in the same way?
Lot harder to create and maintain.
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.
What is the difference between cold fusion and what nuclear power plants do to create energy?
Cold fusion is a theoretical nuclear reaction that supposedly occurs at room temperature, while nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat and produce electricity. Cold fusion has not been reliably demonstrated, while nuclear power plants worldwide successfully use fission to generate a significant portion of electricity.
How are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission different from each other?
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two types of nuclear reactions that release energy. Fusion combines atomic nuclei to create heavier elements, while fission splits atomic nuclei into smaller fragments. Fusion powers the sun and hydrogen bombs, while fission is used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
Does nuclear fusion create radioactive waste?
Nuclear fusion does not create long-lasting radioactive waste like nuclear fission does. However, some materials used in fusion reactors may become radioactive and need to be handled carefully.
To reduce climate damage scientists hope to generate electricity from nuclear energy through what?
Scientists hope to generate electricity and heat through nuclear fusion as well as nuclear fission.
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
What is the antonym of nuclear fusion?
The antonym of nuclear fusion is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.
How is the production of electricity by fission better than nuclear fusion?
In principle fusion should be better for the environment because it does not produce the active fission products. The snag is that it has not been made to work yet, and won't be for many years to come, so as a practical way of producing electricity it does not come into play, and we have to say fission is better than a non-existent fusion
