Fission creates large amounts of radioactive waste?

Large amounts of energy.

no they don't fission means growth of cells and bacteria and virus etc...

Nuclear processes that can release large amounts of energy.

Medical scanning technology, energy production, as the fission of radioactive atoms releases large amounts of energy Technetium, Actinium, Astatine, Radon, Plutonium, Neptunium, Uranium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Berkelium, Curium, and Protactinium. ...

A large radioactive atom breaks into smaller atoms, producing nuclear energy. ...

both the reactions release a large amount of energy. fusion takes place on the sun, fission takes place in radioactive elements ...

There won't be the very radioactive fission products that are produced during uranium fission, so much less radioactive waste to worry about. Also a large part of the fuel, ie the deuterium or heavy water, can be produced from any source of water. ...

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 ...

Nearly all living things contain a certain amount of radioactive material, mainly radioactive Carbon. Bananas absorb large amounts of Potassium, therefore also absorbing radioactive Potassium 40. ...

We generally consider nuclear fission as the "splitting" of atoms. In this process, a large atomic nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei. The smaller nuclei are called fission fragments, and they are radioactive. Making nuclear energy, which we do in nuclear reactors, results in the production of large quantities of highly radioactive fission products. These byproducts require that we cool the spent fuel for long periods, and also that we store it for centuries so that the radioactive materials have a chance...

No. You are confusing binary fission with nuclear fission. Binary fission occurs when a cell, usually a bacterium, divides into two cells. This is how bacteria reproduce. Nuclear fission is a process by which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei. This process releases large amounts of energy. ...

Yes. The first use we developed for nuclear fission was the atomic bomb. The number of people who died when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is difficult to estimate precisely, but was likely over 200,000. Even aside from nuclear weapons, the products of nuclear fission are highly radioactive and fission itself produces large amount of radiation. Accidents at nuclear power plants, which use controlled fission reactions, can result in radioactive material being released into the environment. ...

Atomic fission is the process in which large atoms break apart, releasing large amounts of energy and smaller atoms. The smaller atoms are called fission products. The Oak Ridge scientists proved that element 61 was present in fission products of uranium. They named it promethium, after the Greek god Prometheus. ...

The release of large amounts of binding energy, in the form of heat.

Because the energy released by nuclear fission is extremely great compared with the energy released by coal burning. ...

Glaciers move large amounts of rock and earth. The meltwater also erodes the land and creates lakes. ...

The process which describes the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process. ...

Charcoal is used by burning. Burning creates large amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide in large quantities is fatal to animals and has killed thousands. ...

There are large amounts of fissionable isotopes on the planet, especially if one uses breeder reactors. No greenhouse gasses are produced by nuclear fission. If the process of designing, building, testing, and approving nuclear fission reactors can be streamlined, then costs can be favorable. The disadvantages include safety issues and unwanted radioactive end product. The radioactive end product is the source of low level heat. Possibly uses can be found for this heat. For example, it might be used to evaporate water off the east...

1. releases large amounts of energy from small amounts of mass 2. very efficient 3. convert nuclear energy into thermal energy 4. the fuel lasts a long time ...

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...

We'll consider "dirty" to mean producing radioactive fallout. Since hydrogen bombs (fusion bomb) require the energy from an atomic bomb (fission bomb) they are a little dirty. Its mostly the atomic bomb that creates dangerous isotopes that contaminate the blast area, and regions down-wind. Now an H-bomb is generally "cleaner" than a bomb purposefully-design to create a large amount of dangerous, radioactive fallout. There are various techniques where one can change the type and duration of fallout. These types of weapons are generally use fission...

Fission releases a large amount of energy from a small amount of material

Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors. ...

Unbelievably yes. The Brazil nut is one of the most radioactive fruit in the world! One thousand times more radioactive than any other food... Although eating them won't give you superpowers, large amounts of it could get you a little sick (really large amounts). It's because the roots of the tree that produce the nut. They goe so deep that it absorbs great amount of radium from the soil, making the fruit radioactive. One nut every day is good for health as it is...
