Nuclear energy is either:
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
What is the question
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
Nuclear fission does not produce more energy than nuclear fusion. In nuclear fusion (6.4 MeV) per nucleon is given out which is much greater than the energy given out per nucleon (1 MeV) during a nuclear fission reaction.
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
Nuclear Fission & Nuclear fusion.
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
