The mass defect due to fission or fusion converts to energy according to the equation: E = m c 2
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
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.
Fission of usually Uranium
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.
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Fission gives us electricity from nuclear power plants. Fusion gives us the sun
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
There are two types of nuclear power, fission power and fusion power. Fission power involves splitting an atom to produce energy. Fusion power involves combining two atoms together to make one bigger atom which produces energy.
