True.
If fusion can be made to work in manmade equipment, for power production, (and this is not certain), there should be much less radioactive waste than for fission reactors. The product of the fusion, helium, is harmless. The engineering details of such a plant have not been established, but the energy produced will presumably be extracted from materials surrounding the reaction chamber which absorb the neutrons produced, so these materials will become irradiated and radioactive. Whether the structure will remain for the life of the plant or perhaps neutron absorbing materials have to be replenished from time to time is unknown, but obviously there will be some radioactive waste to be dealt with.
All of it.
Not in large enough amounts to matter.
The reason why an atomic bomb produces such a large explosion is that certain radioactive isotopes, such as U-235 or plutonium, can be made to undergo a chain reaction in which all the atoms will decay in a very short period of time (a small fraction of a second) releasing all the energy at once. Radium does not do that. However, if you had a substantial quantity of radium you could certainly use it to create radioactive contamination which could induce cancer in many people. That is known as a "dirty bomb".
Nuclear power plants produce large amounts of energy which are generally better then using fossil fuels. The downside, in case you wanted to know, is the waste product is nuclear waste which is highly radioactive, and can give you radiation sickness, or cancer. The waste takes approx. 100,000 years to stabilize.

Fusion of hydrogen.
True
High energy output: Nuclear fusion releases large amounts of energy compared to other power sources. Minimal waste: Fusion reactions produce very little radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission reactions. Fuel availability: Fusion fuel sources such as deuterium and lithium are abundant in nature, making fusion a potentially sustainable energy source.
Hydrogen fusion occurs in stars to create helium. This process, known as nuclear fusion, involves the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form helium nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
There are two main types of nuclear reactions: fission and fusion. Fission is the process where a heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. Fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing large amounts of energy.
The expectation is that fusion reactors will provide large amounts of energy, and that they will be relatively environmentally-friendly.
Radioactive fuel is a substance, such as uranium or plutonium, that undergoes nuclear fission in a reactor to produce energy. This process releases large amounts of heat that can be converted into electricity.
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
A hydrogen bomb is actually a fission-fusion-fission reaction. The primary fission trigger (plutonium) supplies the energy to induce fusion, but then the fusion energy is used to initiate the secondary fission, which is a large amount of uranium. (in a "clean" H bomb, the uranium is replaced with lead, making it much weaker) also, the radiation will affect the surrounding area, creating a large number of isotopes, dramatically increasing the radioactive fallout.-Akilae
Nuclear processes that can release large amounts of energy.
Plasma fire can be harnessed for energy production in a sustainable manner through a process called nuclear fusion. This involves replicating the same reactions that power the sun, where hydrogen atoms fuse together to create helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. By containing and controlling this plasma fire in a fusion reactor, we can generate clean and abundant energy without producing greenhouse gas emissions or long-lived radioactive waste.
The energy in the sun is released through nuclear fusion. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
