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.
What are some advantages to using a fusion reactor to produce electricity?
it should be radiologically cleaner than fission
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
What advantages would a fusion reactor have over the fission reactors currently being operated?
Plenty of cheap fuel, and no radioactive waste.
How does the energy released by fusion compare in magnitude with that released by fission?
In a fission reactor which has been operating at a steady power level, on shutdown the fission reactions stop at once, but the radioactivity of the fission products in the fuel still produces thermal energy. This is about 6.5 percent of the previous power level immediately, dropping to about 1 percent after 1 hour. In the case of fusion, there are no fission products so this comparison does not exist, in fact if fusion reactors can ever be made, this is one of the advantages over fission reactors.
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
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.
Is fusion controllable as fission is reactor?
no
What is better solar energy fission reactor or fusion reactor?
solar is a billion times better.
Energy release of fusion compared to fission?
fusion=bigger boom
What type of reaction take place in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.
Was the Chernobyl meltdown from fusion or fission?
The reactor(s) at Chernobyl are fission reactors, and fission of fuel and fission products following the fire and the overheating of the core melted it down.
Is fusion a type of reactor?
Fusion is the combining of two atoms to make one, fission is the splitting of an atom to make two.
What are some advantages to using a fusion reactor to produce electricity?
it should be radiologically cleaner than fission
Nuclear fusion compared to nuclear fission?
Fission is the breaking up of atomic nuclei whereas fusion is joining of nuclei.does not produce as much waste
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.
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.
