Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are the two processes that are used in the nuclear power plants. Nuclear fission refers to the process of splitting the atomic nuclei while nuclear fusion refers to the process of joining the atomic nuclei.

What is the process that generates energy in the core of a main sequence star?
The process is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. All stars at their main sequence converts hydrogen to helium giving large energy by during hydrogen atoms into helium nucliiFusion of hydrogen.

Name of the source of the sun's energy?
nothing The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
What process changes hydrogen to helium in a star?
the process is called "nuclear fission ". that means the combining of two hydrogen atoms into one , that is helium . it generates huge amount of energy . it has not yet been done sucessfuly by humans , because it is unstable .however we have controlled nuclear fission . that is just the reverse of it
The process responsible for the enormous energy in the sun is?
Nuclear fusion is the process responsible for the enormous energy in the sun. Nuclear fusion occurs when Hydrogen is converted to Helium.
What is the name of the process in the center of the sun that generates its energy?
Nuclear fusion.
How sun generates energy?
By heat released from continuous nuclear fission and fusion process.
Which energy source generates radioactive waste?
Nuclear Energy.
What is a nuclear station?
a place that generates nuclear energy
What is the name of the process that nuclear power stations use to generate power?
Nuclear Reaction: A Nuclear reaction in the nuclear core generates great amounts of energy in the form of heat. This energy is used to heat up water to steam to drive a steam turbine engine which generates rotary motion to a shaft which is mechanically connected to turn an Alternator which generates the electrical power.
What is a nuclear generating station?
a place that generates nuclear energy
What types of nuclear energy generates electircity?
At present only nuclear fission can be used, in various types of reactor. The PWR and BWR are the most commonly used.
What is an example of nuclear energy to electrical energy?
nuclear power station generates electric
What energy generates radioactive waste?
Nuclear
How does nuclear fission generates energy?
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
Describe how nuclear fusion generates the suns energy?
It is the process that produces all the sun's energy
What occurs in the sun's and generates the sun's energy?
Nuclear Fusion
