What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?
The benefit of nuclear fusion is its potential to provide a virtually limitless and clean energy source with minimal environmental impact. One thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common is that they both involve the release of energy by altering the nuclei of atoms, although through different processes.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.
Is nuclei and nuclear fusion the same?
No. Nuclei are objects, nuclear fusion is a process in which those objects join to make bigger nuclei.
How does nuclear fusion spin a turbine?
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
How does a star make energy?
A process called nuclear fusion.
What process does a sun use to make its energy?
nuclear fusion.
How do you combine elements to make other elements?
nuclear fusion
Why does the atomic bomb make an explosion?
uncontrolled nuclear fission and/or fusion.
What planet has energy created by nuclear fusion?
the only planet that is known to make nuclear power at this point is earth.
What does the stars have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, including our sun. The intense heat and pressure in the core of a star creates the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur, releasing vast amounts of energy. Scientists are working on harnessing this same process for practical energy production on Earth through nuclear fusion reactors.
Why is Jupiter not a star when its made up the same elements as a star?
Well, what if you take a SCUBA tank or a big balloon, and first you pump in a bunch of hydrogen, and then you go ahead and pump in about 10 or 20 percent more gas but the second time you make it helium. Now you have a mixture of gases inside the tank or the balloon that's made of the same elements in the same proportions as a star, but I'm willing to bet that the tank will not suddenly erupt in spontaneous nuclear fusion with emissions of heat, light, X-rays, and great flares, arches, and magnetic storms. There's not enough pressure and temperature inside the balloon to ignite the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei, with the conversion of mass into energy. And there never was inside Jupiter either.
What are the disadvantages of nuclear fusion for electricity?
It has not been developed enough to make this clear
