How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?
There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future
What percent of the US' energy does nuclear fusion supply?
The nuclear fusion is not used now as a source of energy; probable possible in a far future.
Give one relevance of nuclear physics?
Nuclear physics is relevant to the average person in the way it affects energy use of humans. These advances include electricity, fission, nuclear power pants, and perhaps cold fusion in the future.
How does hospital us nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is not a practical source of energy yet, though it may be in the distant future
What is the code for future fusion?
Meaningless question as far as nuclear energy
Is there another way to create nuclear energy?
The only usable way at present is in a nuclear reactor using a fission chain reaction, involving uranium fuel. In the future it is hoped to use nuclear fusion, but this is a long way off and many scientific and engineering problems have not been solved.
Why is fusion important?
Because it may hold the key to a sustainable and highly powerful energy source and is capable of being a very powerful nuclear weapon. Scientifically, fusion is important as it is the reason that all the elements were created and is the power source behind the sun and all other stars.
Is nuclear energy the energy of the future?
Probably, but it depends on fusion being successful, and it will take another 50 years to find out
What would be the advantages in using nuclear fusion to supply our energy needs in the future?
minecraft mine and CRAFT!
What is the possibility of uranium as future source of energy?
The energy of the nuclear fission is transformed in heat or electricity.The use of nuclear fuels is profitable on long term.
Are there other sources of atomic energy other than nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy means energy obtained from changes in the nucleus, which is nuclear fission on earth and fusion in stars (possibly on earth in the distant future). Radioactivity is also a nuclear phenomenen which can give small amounts of useful energy. When you move to the atomic level you are dealing in Chemistry rather than Nuclear Physics, and some chemical reactions give out energy, most notably the burning of fossil fuels with oxygen.
What is the major problem with fusion reactions as an energy source?
Problem on nuclear fusion is upon confinement of reaction in earth atmosphere. Nuclear fusion required very high temperature to initiate the reaction. Sustaining reaction is not easy. It is likely the earliest nuclear fusion will be available commercially by 2050. It is a little far future for the current energy crisis would reach it peak around 2040.
