What is the difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source?

Well, the difference is that when you get fusion it turns into fission. So really all your doing is using fissions. But, the difference to them is that when you use fission it produces a light that can be used. When you use fusion it can not be used as a light \, but just to make tatter tots. I like tatter tots do you?

What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What is the main difference between fission and fusion in terms of chemistry?
fission is the slitting of one element to produce energy but fusion is two element combined to produce that amount of energy.eg fission:Ba and for fusion H.
What is the difference between the sun's energy and a nuclear power plant?
the sun is powered by fusion, the power plant by fission
What is the difference between the use of fission as an energy source?
The difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source is that in fusion reaction, 2 or more light atomic nuclei fuses to form single heavier nucleus while in fission reaction, heavy atomic nucleus is usually splited into smaller nuclei, other particles and radiation.
What is the difference between mechanical energy and nuclear energy?
Mechanical energy is energy generated through motion, while nuclear energy is generated through either fusion (the combining of atoms), or fission (the breakdown of atoms). stars generate fusion, and nuclear power plants, use uranium for fission.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
What is the difference between fusion and fission atomic bombs?
Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
Is energy released during fission but absorbed during fusion?
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What is the difference between fission and fusion in nuclear bombardment reactions?

How are fusion and fission similar to chemical energy?
They are not similar, as fusion and fission involve changes to the nucleus whereas chemical energy involves the bonds between atoms
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
