Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.
How are nuclear fusion and chemical synthesis reactions similar?
Chemical synthesis form a new molecule; nuclear fusion form a new atom.
What are the Application of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion has been used for nuclear transformation, which is the production of new materials by fusion, and for the type of specific type of transformation called nuclear synthesis, which is the production of materials not normally found in nature. It has been used in nuclear bombs, specifically fusion bombs or hydrogen bombs. There is hope that nuclear fusion can be used to provide power for generation of electricity, though this has not yet been achieved in a practical system. There is a link below to an article on nuclear fusion.
Is nuclear fusion used for nuclear power?
No, not yet. Maybe in another 20 years when its perfected (which they have been saying every 20 years since they originally began work in the 1950s on lab prototypes of controlled nuclear fusion reactors for power generation).
What generation of energy by the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion - converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Why all-stars have light?
Stars undergo nuclear fusion in their cores, and so generate energy; i.e., light and heat. No nuclear fusion, no energy generation, ergo not a star at all. Generating light and heat is how we can tell a very large planet from a star. If it isn't generating energy from nuclear fusion, then it isn't a star.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
