Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.
No, a nuclear chain reaction refers to a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions where the neutrons released in one reaction cause further fissions. Fusion, on the other hand, is the process of combining two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
Not exactly, nuclear chain reactions are a series of nuclear fissions initiated by neutrons produced in a preceding fission.
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Well, the difference is that when you get fusion it turns into fission. So really all your doing is using fissions. But, the difference to them is that when you use fission it produces a light that can be used. When you use fusion it can not be used as a light \, but just to make tatter tots. I like tatter tots do you?
due to the anomalous behaviour of water.....

Chemical synthesis form a new molecule; nuclear fusion form a new atom.
Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
This might be called a chain reaction.
A Fusion Monster can never be Normal Summoned, as it is impossible to put them in your hand. A Fusion Monster must be Special Summoned, be it Fusion Summon through Polymerization or similar, or a regular Special Summon by any card that can do it.
The sun obtains its energy from the fusion of hydrogen isotopes. Nuclear energy on earth works by using the energy released when uranium fissions. Uranium was not formed by the sun, it must have been produced by some earlier stellar event, perhaps a supernova, which we do not as yet understand.
Probably around 50 to 60 as most of the fallout is fission fragments from fissions of the uranium-238 radiation casing surrounding the fusion stage due to 15MeV fission neutrons generated. About 90% of the bomb yield is from this fission also.
