Its use in atomic bombs for military purposes.
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
In nuclear fission reactors
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
Fission bombs. They use one or more of 3 fuels: Uranium-233, Uranium-235, or Plutonium-239.
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
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.
We don't know much about fusion as it is still very experimental. It will not produce the dangerous fission products that fission does, but it may have other dangers unknown as yet. Nuclear fusion has more destructive potential than fission. Fusion is the principle powering the H-bomb developed in the Cold War. Just to put the power of a Fusion bomb in perspective, it is detonated by a fission bomb half the size of the one dropped on Japan. THAT'S JUST THE DETONATOR.
Nuclear fission is the method currently used for generating energy, while nuclear fusion is still being developed for practical use.
Protons are not the active part in fission, they are just there. It is neutrons that determine the fission behaviour
