Absolutely, mostly as 15 MeV neutrons. This causes neutron activated secondary radioactivity in surrounding material. On decommissioning a fusion reactor (assuming we ever figure out how to build one) this part of the reactor would have to be handled as radioactive waste, just as the non-fuel assemblies of a fission reactor must be treated now. There is also alpha radiation, but the biggest problem here is weakening and flaking of a thin layer of reactor vessel wall due to helium bubble accumulation.

∙ 12y agoabsolutely , the multiple chain reactions produced sub atomically during a nuclear reaction are uncontrollable and happen faster than the speed of light .many adverse bi-products are produced mostly which are harmful including u.v radiation when light is created by light
High energy radiation that travels faster than the speed of light in the medium it is traveling through produces Cherenkov Radiation, a blue glow. However without shielding (water, leaded concrete, offset viewing mirrors, etc.) to prevent the original radiation from reaching you, you will be dead in a couple weeks from Radiation Poisoning. The Cherenkov Radiation had nothing to do with this, it just warns you.

Is the produced from a meteor is produced by nuclear fusion?
No, the impact energy of a meteor is all from kinetic energy, nothing nuclear is involved.
How does fusion relate to the sun?
The energy of the Sun is produced by nuclear fusion - the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.
What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?
nuclear fusion make more energy and they both make energy and have waste products
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
What kind of nuclear energy is produced by hydrogen bombs and stars?
This is produced by nuclear fusion
How is energy produced in a star?
Nuclear fusion and hydrogen.
Is the produced from a meteor is produced by nuclear fusion?
No, the impact energy of a meteor is all from kinetic energy, nothing nuclear is involved.
How does fusion relate to the sun?
The energy of the Sun is produced by nuclear fusion - the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
How is the sun an example of nuclear energy?
The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion (not fission) at the core of the sun.
What does the stars have to do with nuclear energy?
Because the process whereby the star produces energy is nuclear fusion, hydrogen becomes helium with release of energy
Source of heat and light energy produced by stars?
Nuclear fusion
When is the Suns energy produced?
The energy was basically there since the beginning of the Universe, i.e., the Big Bang. The Sun converts the energy through a process called nuclear fusion.
Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.
Does nuclear fusion create thermal energy?
Yes, fusion is exothermic until nickel & iron are produced.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
Is nuclear energy produced by the sunlight?
No, in fact sunlight is produced by nuclear fusion, not directly but from the heat produced which makes the outer layer of the sun incandescent
