Because it is a fission process, not fusion
What else can I help you with?
How is the nuclear energy now in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy typically refers to fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion energy involves merging atoms to release energy, mimicking the process that powers the sun. Fusion has the potential to generate more energy and produce less waste compared to fission.
What method do we use for generating energy, nuclear fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission is the method currently used for generating energy, while nuclear fusion is still being developed for practical use.
What process does a sun use to make its energy?
nuclear fusion.
Why japan does not use natural energy instead of nuclear?
nuclear energy is perfectly natural, what do you think powers the sun: nuclear fusion.
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.
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.
What are two reasons that people have not been able to use nuclear fusion as an energy source?
Nuclear fusion is unsure now at industrial scale.
What are two reasons that people don't use nuclear fusion as a energy source?
One good reason-it has not been made to work yet! We do of course use solar energy which is produced by nuclear fusion
How does hospital us nuclear fusion?
Hospitals do not use nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a process that generates energy by fusing atomic nuclei together, while hospitals primarily use technologies like X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound for medical diagnosis and treatment. Nuclear fusion research is still in the experimental stage for energy production and is not yet implemented in hospital settings.
What is the relationship between solar energy produced by the sun to nuclear energy your facilities use?
Energy produced in the sun arises from nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei, whilst nuclear energy used in power plants comes from fission of uranium nuclei. They are very different.
What are two common sources of nuclear energy?
Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.
