"today nuclear bombs are used for threatening the United States of America just like the Suddan hussan did"
The above is a great example of why the USA should not be a nuclear power: the citizens of the USA are not very smart. Saddam Hussein (note the spelling and capitalization) and Iraq had no nuclear capability.
In fact, since the original answer claims that nuclear weapons are for "threatening" other countries, and the USA has more nuclear weapons than anyone else, the USA is the one threatening others. The USA is a bully in international relations.

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.
How can nuclear fission be used?
In general, physicists, and specifically nuclear physicists, use nuclear fission in experiments.
How is heat of Nuclear fission used?
The heat from nuclear fission is what generates electricity. Water is heated in a nuclear reactor, which then generates steam which is used to power electrical generators.
How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?
in nuclear fusion bombs
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
Where has nuclear fission been used?
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.
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.
How can nuclear fission be used?
In general, physicists, and specifically nuclear physicists, use nuclear fission in experiments.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Is Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants?
Yes
Why nuclear fission better?
Nuclear fission is now commercially available in nuclear fission reactors since the fifties of last century. Nuclear Fusion is still under R&D. Nuclear fission reactors are clean energy source.
How is heat of Nuclear fission used?
The heat from nuclear fission is what generates electricity. Water is heated in a nuclear reactor, which then generates steam which is used to power electrical generators.
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
What is a used fuel in nuclear power plants?
The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).
Can nuclear fission be used anywhere in the world?
yes on condition of the availability of the necessary nuclear fission device (nuclear reactors or critical assemblies).
What kind of nuclear resource does a nuclear power use?
What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
