Nuclear fission is used as the principle of operation for a total of 104 nuclear power reactors in the US, producing 806.5 billion KWh of electricity in 2007. Worldwide figures in 2006 were 2659.7 billion KWh.
Nuclear fusion has no use at present except in H-bombs, which hopefully will never be used in anger.
What else can I help you with?
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
What method do we use for generating energy, nuclear fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission is the method currently used for generating energy, while nuclear fusion is still being developed for practical use.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
How is the nuclear energy now in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
What is the antonym of nuclear fusion?
The antonym of nuclear fusion is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.
Why are thermonuclear bombs are more disastrous than nuclear bombs?
Nuclear bombs use nuclear fission of some heavy element, usually uranium or plutonium. Thermonuclear bombs use the detonation of a fission bomb to ignite the fusion of hydrogen. Such weapons are more powerful than ordinary nuclear weapons because nuclear fusion releases more energy than nuclear fission, and because the process of fusion itself can be used to ignite more fission.
Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.
What are the type of nuclear reactions?
nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
