Does nuclear power plants uses nuclear fusion?
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
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.
How does nuclear get its power?
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
What is sun power?
Nuclear fusion
What kind of nuclear power is responsible for sunshine?
Thermonuclear Fusion - Nuclear fusion brought about by high temperatures
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
What is sun's power source?
Nuclear fusion
Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
How do you use fission and fusion in a nuclear power plant?
We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.
Why can't they use the nuclear fusion rocket technology in for power production?
Nuclear fusion rocket technology is too expensive to use as a means for power production.
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.
