TO initiate fusion process very high temperature of the order of 100 million kelvin is needed. Such a high temperature could be produced by laser beam if it is used in a different technique. That is why sciectists rely on laser.

To reduce climate damage scientists hope to generate electricity from nuclear energy through what?

Scientists hope to generate electricity and heat through nuclear fusion as well as nuclear fission.


Scientists hope to build a nuclear fusion reactor fueled by?

Ocean Water


The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?

The two processes that produce nuclear changes are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion involves combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller ones. Both processes release a large amount of energy.


To reduce climate damage scientists hope to generate nuclear energy through?

....nuclear fusion. For two reasons: it's clean because there is no nuclear waste in this process and it's safebecause any disruption of the process, external or internal, will only result in the fusion process coming to a halt.The only drawback: we are today still unable to get the process going on any industrial scale because of the enormously high temperatures needed (think: surface of the sun-temperatures) to get nuclear fusion started and continuing.


What are the Application of nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion has been used for nuclear transformation, which is the production of new materials by fusion, and for the type of specific type of transformation called nuclear synthesis, which is the production of materials not normally found in nature. It has been used in nuclear bombs, specifically fusion bombs or hydrogen bombs. There is hope that nuclear fusion can be used to provide power for generation of electricity, though this has not yet been achieved in a practical system. There is a link below to an article on nuclear fusion.


What gas giant has nuclear fusion on it?

None. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. Jupiter, for example, has all the right ingredients to be a star but as huge as it is, it doesn't have enough mass to generate the heat and internal pressure facilitate nuclear fusion. Hope this helps :-)


You hope that you will some be able to perform nuclear fusion to create electricity using?

It may be possible one day but it will be many years before fusion plants are developed.


What is important about the onset of fusion?

"The onset of fusion marks the birth of stars. Once nuclear fusion begins in a star,the prcess can continue for billions of years." I got this info. from my text book, hope it helped you. :T


It takes an extremely high temperature for nuclear to occur inside the sun?

Not nuclear, it takes an extremely hight temperature for Fusion to occur with in the sun or any other star. ADDED: Yes "nuclear". Fusion is one of the two type of nuclear reaction, the other being Fission.


What is thermo-nuclear fusion?

Thermonuclear fusion is the process of nuclei joining together with the release of energy. This is the process which powers the stars, including our sun, and also the H-Bomb. Scientists hope to be able to make this work in a controlled way to produce energy which could then produce electric power. The most likely process for controlled use is between nuclei of deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen.


What part of the sun is energy produced in?

Nuclear fusion is taking place in the Sun's core that makes the solar energy. Hope this helped! :)


What do scientist hope to achieve with the research on the Tokamak Fusion Reactor?

Scientists hope to achieve a sustainable and controllable fusion reaction that can generate abundant clean energy. The research on Tokamak Fusion Reactors aims to overcome the technical challenges of achieving self-sustaining fusion reactions and commercialize fusion power as a viable alternative energy source. Success in this research could help address global energy needs and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
