We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.

What is the difference between the sun's energy and a nuclear power plant?
the sun is powered by fusion, the power plant by fission
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
Part of power plant where fission takes place?
In a nuclear power plant, fission takes place in the core.
What are benefits fission and fusion gives us?
Fission gives us electricity from nuclear power plants. Fusion gives us the sun
What nuclear reaction is used to the Bataan power plant?
The nuclear reaction used in the Bataan power plant is nuclear fission.
What is the difference between the sun's energy and a nuclear power plant?
the sun is powered by fusion, the power plant by fission
Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
Does nuclear power plants uses nuclear fusion?
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?
There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future
How does nuclear get its power?
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
Where is the Nuclear Fission Power plant in Alaska?
There is no nuclear power plant in Alaska.
Is it fusion or fission that provides energy for nuclear power stations?
Fission of usually Uranium
Why do some scientists believe nuclear fusion is better than fission in a reaction?
Fusion produces no radioactive waste, and can yield a constant flow of energy instead of in nuclear fission where a nuclear power plant must be refueled and closed for 40-100 days out of the year.
How does nuclear fission and nuclear fusion get power?
The mass defect due to fission or fusion converts to energy according to the equation: E = m c 2
What type of power does nuclear fission have?
Fusion power is the power generated by the nuclear fusion processes. Fusion power is a primary area of researc in plasma physics. For example, the sun is a natural fusion reactor.
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
Part of power plant where fission takes place?
In a nuclear power plant, fission takes place in the core.
