What is a major disadvantage of using nuclear fusion reactors?
Today these installations are not surely controlled.
How does the Sun generate energy today?
nuclear fusion
What advances have been possible from the nuclear bomb?
Nuclear power plants, submarines and aircraft carriers propelled by nuclear reactors. In the future, may be all sort of vehicles could have small and very protected nuclear reactors instead of today's fuel.
5 How does the Sun generate energy today?
Nuclear Fusion
What percentage of nuclear power plants in operation today are based upon nuclear fusion?
None of them do.
Why us fusion not used to generate electrical power?
Today nuclear fusion is not controlled at industry scale.
How many nuclear power are in operation in the US today?
104 at the last count (ie number of nuclear reactors). See www.nrc.gov
Which one of these two process is still used today Nuclear Fission or Fusion?
Fission. Fusion has never been used on Earth, except for nuclear weapon tests.
Where does France stand as a nuclear power?
France is one of the major nuclear powers in the world today. Both in strategic defence and by far the largest in the production of electricity through nuclear reactors.
Do any power plant today run run on nuclear fusion why or why not?
No, because the highest amount of energy needed in a nuclear fusion is 40,000,000 K, which is only known to occur on the sun.
Is it true that nuclear fusion is like a bomb?
Both fission and fusion can be used to make nuclear bombs, in fact almost every nuclear bomb in stockpile in the world today uses both fission and fusion to achieve its total yield, optimize it material efficiency, and reduce size and weight.
How nuclear energy is used today?
Mostly in reactors fuelled by Uranium and moderated and cooled by light water (PWR and BWR types)
