All the operating reactors use fission, practically all with U-235, a few with Pu-239, and sometimes with a mixed fuel (MOX)

A fission nuclear power plant uses what kind of reaction to generate heat?

A fission nuclear power plant uses nuclear fission reactions to generate heat. In this process, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.

What can fission be used to?

Fission gives off heat, neutrons, and fission products. Each of these things has different uses. The heat is the primary product. It is typically used to boil water, the steam being used to power a turbine, which turns a generator to make electricity. Neutrons can be used to turn atoms of one element into atoms of another element. For example, tritium can be manufactured by exposing hydrogen in water to neutrons. The tritium, in turn, has uses ranging from nuclear fusion to tracing flow in ecological systems. Some of the products of fission have their own uses and are easiest obtained from materials that have been in reactor cores. An example is cesium-137, whihc is a fission product, and has uses in medicine and industry.

What is the difference a fission and fusion?

fission is the splitting of atoms of uranium or plutionium by the means of neutrons. fusion is the opposite. fusion is the violent combining of atoms through magnatism and heat. our own sun uses fusion to shine.
