Provided the fission products are looked after carefully there is very little effect on the environment
This is fusion not fission. In stars like our sun, hydrogen is turned into helium
The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one.
-- changes to the nuclei of the atoms involved -- the conversion of mass to energy
An atomic weapon is an alternative name for a nuclear weapon, a weapon which derives its energy from the nuclear reactions of either fusion or fission.
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
No, fission and fusion are not opposites. Fission is defined as the act of splitting into parts and fusion is defined as a coalition of factions or the act of fusing.
In principle fusion should be better for the environment because it does not produce the active fission products. The snag is that it has not been made to work yet, and won't be for many years to come, so as a practical way of producing electricity it does not come into play, and we have to say fission is better than a non-existent fusion
Fission.
fission..sup
Fission
Energy is released during fusion and 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.
Provided the fission products are looked after carefully there is very little effect on the environment
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
Fission and fusion. All fusion boms are trigered by a fission weapon.
