What else can I help you with?
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
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.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
What is the difference between cold fusion and what nuclear power plants do to create energy?
Cold fusion is a theoretical nuclear reaction that supposedly occurs at room temperature, while nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat and produce electricity. Cold fusion has not been reliably demonstrated, while nuclear power plants worldwide successfully use fission to generate a significant portion of electricity.
Nuclear fusion only releases energy when elements that are lighter than what element are involved?
Nuclear fusion only releases energy when elements lighter than iron are involved. This is because elements lighter than iron release energy due to the process of fusion, while elements heavier than iron require energy to be input for fusion to occur.
What is nuclear fusion used for?
Up to now only in H-bombs. Experiments in fusion are on going though.
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.
What planet has energy created by nuclear fusion?
the only planet that is known to make nuclear power at this point is earth.
What were the two chemicals in the big bang?
Well, if you believe in such things, the Big Bang was only a mass Hydrogen, which exploded due to massive internal forces. Hydrogen then fused into all atoms in the universe today through the process of nuclear fusion, which is the same process as that occurs in the center of our sun, and in the hydrogen bomb. Nuclear fusion is not utilized in nuclear power plants, as the only sustainable level of nuclear fusion is to large to be contained. Essentially, it would melt everybody who tried to go near a fusion power plant. Nuclear physicist are constantly working on the theoretical process of "cold fusion", but have made very little advancement. It looks like this force may just be for stars bombs and universe making theories ;).
