Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Nuclear energy
The energy released by either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
What is the question
Nuclear Fusion
The binding energy between atoms is released.
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
When there is nuclear fusion (when atoms push together and make energy) and nuclear fission (when atoms split apart to make energy).
the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, esp. when used to gnerate electricity.
Energy is released in nuclear fission and fusion, this is a fact of the physics of the nucleus. This energy can be captured and harnessed as thermal energy (heat)
The only fusion energy in the universe is in the stars like the sun, and there are millions of such stars!
Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.
