The expectation is that fusion reactors will provide large amounts of energy, and that they will be relatively environmentally-friendly.

What did scientists manhatten project discover?
The Manhattan Project was instigated to build a nuclear reactor and consequently the first atomic bomb.
Can you use the energy produced by nuclear fusion for something?
Sure, you can get a tan from it, since the Sun is a big fusion power reactor. In the near future we will be able to build fusion reactors here on Earth. Google "ITER" to see how it's going. In the meantime I suppose you can say the fusion power is actually solar energy.
What scientists would be needed to build a nuclear power plant?
None. Building a nuclear power station is a job for engineers.
Why cant you use fusion to produce energy?
Scientists and engineers have not yet been able to build an apparatus to make it work-but they are still trying
Is nuclear reactors using U-235 renewable energy?
No, all the uranium on earth was produced in supernova explosions that occurred more than 6 billion years ago, there is no more arriving on earth (except small amounts in meteors and they got their uranium from the same supernovas as did earth). Without building reactors that burn plutonium if we use up all the uranium-235 it will become impossible to build a nuclear fission reactor (nuclear fusion reactors might become possible someday, but not yet).
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
What percentage is nuclear fusion used in the US?
0% No country gets any of its energy from fusion as nobody has figured out how to build a controlled fusion reactor.
Scientists hope to build a nuclear fusion reactor fueled by?
Ocean Water
What did scientists manhatten project discover?
The Manhattan Project was instigated to build a nuclear reactor and consequently the first atomic bomb.
Is there an artificial sun?
Not yet, but people are trying to build a fusion reactor.
Does nuclear fusion occur in nuclear reactor?
No. "Reactors" contain fission reactions. No useful way of containing fusionon an industrial scale outside the laboratory has been developed yet.Edit: Tomak fusion reactors currently produce 10 times the energy that is put into them. The historical increase into the gain of fusion reactors has bettered the increase of capacity of DRAMs. The only reason that that it "isn't out of the laboratory" is because when you build a fusion reactor, it is usually called a laboratory.
Are nuclear fusion dangerus?
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
Can you use the energy produced by nuclear fusion for something?

What resources will you lose if you build a nuclear reactor?
Primarily Concrete and electoral votes
Would it be a good idea to build a nuclear power reactor that utilized spontaneous fission?
maybe
What do you have to do to get nuclear energy?
You have to build a nuclear reactor which is an assembly of nuclear fuel and a moderator, which enables a chain fission reaction to start and continue, which releases thermal energy.
Who first invented nuclear reactors?
The nuclear reactor was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, in London, but he did not try to build one. The first functioning nuclear reactor, CP-1, was designed and built in 1942 by Enrico Fermi, in Chicago, IL.
