∙ 14y agoNuclear fusion is still only experimental, but the fuel used is a mixture of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes)

∙ 9y agoI found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.

When fission is not controlled how is it used?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
What are the important components of a nuclear power plant?
A:The elements used in nuclear power station are radioactive elements such as thorium (Th), polonium, radium (Ra), uranium (U), etc. some moderators are also used like deuterium( isotope of hydrogen). A:The radioactive elements used for fuel in nuclear power stations must have certain important characteristics in addition to being radioactive. They need to be fissionable or fertile. There are two such elements occurring in nature, and these are uranium and thorium. Additional synthetic elements exist of this type, and the most important of these for nuclear power is plutonium. There are other complication to nuclear power, importantly that there must be a neutron source, and so, for example, uranium must be enriched to increase the number of neutrons, as its neutron source is uranium-235, which is not present in sufficient quantities in naturally occurring uranium.
What is non fusion welding and types?
non fusion welding is when there is no filler metal needed...Actually all welding is considered fusion welding, meaning the material fuses together unlike soldering. The material has to melt to fuse.
What is EFW pipe?
Electrical fusion welded pipes made by rolling plate or sheet into pipe and joined by electrical fusion welding.
What is the best way at producing electricity?
in order,- Fission, (u235) Fusion, (d-t) Fusion (sun) Antimatter, Zero point energy.
Why do scientists want to build a nuclear fusion reactor?
The expectation is that fusion reactors will provide large amounts of energy, and that they will be relatively environmentally-friendly.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
No place, we have not yet determined how to make a fusion reactor. Only fusion bombs.
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
How does nuclear fusion spin a turbine?
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
What type of reaction take place in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.
Can you make a real ark reactor?
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
What was the name of doc's nuclear reactor in back to the future?
Mr. Fusion
What are the release dates for TEDTalks - 2006 Taylor Wilson Yup I Built a Nuclear Fusion Reactor?
TEDTalks - 2006 Taylor Wilson Yup I Built a Nuclear Fusion Reactor was released on: USA: March 2012
What type of power does nuclear fission have?
Fusion power is the power generated by the nuclear fusion processes. Fusion power is a primary area of researc in plasma physics. For example, the sun is a natural fusion reactor.
What type of scientists studies nuclear fusion?
Usually a nuclear physicist.
What is the difference between a bioreactor and nuclear reactor?
A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.
What is the process where the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts in a reactor?
A. nuclear fusion C. Atomic Fracture B. Nuclear Fission D. Transformation thie correct answer will be A. nuclear Fusion.
