If it is not properly watched and bad materials are used then disasters can happen, like in Cherynobl.
One big drawback of the currently used fission technology is that it produces material which is usable in an atomic bomb, and relatively easy to separate from the rest of the spent fuel.
Nuclear fission
Nuclear Fission
Fission power is the only realistic source of ecologically sound power, for at least the next 50 to 100 years.
Fission. Fusion has never been used on Earth, except for nuclear weapon tests.
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fission
is no drawback
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
nuclear fission
No. That's a description of the process of nuclear " fusion ".Nuclear " fission " is the splitting of one single atomic nucleus into two or more nuclei.
Nuclear Fission
Cs-137 is one of the mixed fission byproducts of nuclear fission. You get Cs-137 in a nuclear reactor.
Fission power is the only realistic source of ecologically sound power, for at least the next 50 to 100 years.
There are no pros or cons of nuclear fission, it simply IS. Nuclear fission is a natural phenomena that has always existed, no matter how much one likes or dislikes it.However there are pros and cons to how humans choose to use or not use nuclear fission; the technologies we choose to build with it.
Fission. Fusion has never been used on Earth, except for nuclear weapon tests.
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
