No. It measures the radioactive decay of Carbon-14.

No, carbon dating does not use nuclear fusion. Carbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic materials by measuring the remaining levels of a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. This process involves the decay of carbon-14, not nuclear fusion.

How do you use fission and fusion in a nuclear power plant?
We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.
Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?
some are, some aren't. they use fission, fusion, or both (in various amounts depending on desired effects).
What are fusion and fission with respect to nuclear physics?
Fission is a nuclear reaction where a heavy atom is split up into lighter elements, thereby producing energy. Fission is commonly used in nuclear power plants, but someday they will use fusion. Fusion is a nuclear reaction where very light elements are fused together under enormous heat and pressure into heavier elements, thereby producing energy. The Sun and all the stars are fusion reactors. Thermonuclear bombs (H-bombs) use fission (an A-bomb) to produce the heat needed for fusion.
What kind of nuclear resource does a nuclear power use?
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.
Advancements in nuclear science have led to new technology which have been beneficial to society Many of the advances are used in medicine what is not a medical use of nuclear energy?
The answer is Nuclear Fusion
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
What do they use nuclear fusion for?
Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose at present, it is still in the experimental phase
Why can't they use the nuclear fusion rocket technology in for power production?
Nuclear fusion rocket technology is too expensive to use as a means for power production.
How do you use fission and fusion in a nuclear power plant?
We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
Fission
How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?
There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future
Do geologists use nuclear?
Nuclear explosives, no! Nuclear dating methods, yes.
What are two reasons that people have not been able to use nuclear fusion as an energy source?
Nuclear fusion is unsure now at industrial scale.
How is the nuclear energy now in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy as we use it now is from nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the joining up of nuclei rather than the splitting (fission), but it is not yet available on Earth.
Why dont we use nuclear fusion in nuclear power plants?
Because no one has been able to produce a continuous fusion reaction so far.
