There is a lower risk of runaway chain reactions.
Fission
If you're referring to nuclear energy in power generating plants, it is nuclear fission. If you're referring to the nuclear energy in our Sun, it is nuclear fusion.
nuclear fusion is when 2 hydryon atoms combine or FUSE together. when this happens the neculous combine therefore causing nuclear fussion which releaces masses of heat and light enegry that radiates to earth
No. The heat from the reactor is used to boil water. The steam from said water is used to turn turbines which produces electricity. No, there is no combustion in a nuclear reactor. Nuclear energy does not need combustion to start it, there is no chemical process involved. It works simply by a neutron chain reaction.
Nuclear fussion
Fussion
Both release excess nuclear binding energy.
The cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
it might eat you
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
In the sun is a nuclear fussion energy
There is a lower risk of runaway chain reactions.
Nuclear fussion of Hydrogen to give helium, positron and energy
Very carefully
