A part of mass is transformed in energy.

Lack (or reduced) fission products. Fission products emit most of the harmful radiation in fallout.
Nuclear fission typically produces more radioactive by-products compared to nuclear fusion. This is because fission involves the splitting of large atoms into smaller, unstable fragments which can emit radiation. Fusion, on the other hand, involves the combining of light atoms to form a heavier nucleus with less unstable by-products.
Breeder nuclear fission produces more fissile material than it consumes, while conventional nuclear fission produces energy without producing additional fuel. Breeder reactors can create more fuel (like plutonium) for use in other reactors, making them potentially more efficient in terms of fuel usage.
Yes, nuclear fusion produces some radioactive waste, but it is generally less than what is produced by nuclear fission.
The products of nuclear fusion are slightly less massive than the mass of the reactants because some of the mass of the reactants is converted into nuclear binding energy to hold the fusion product together.
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.
Nuclear energy typically refers to fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion energy involves merging atoms to release energy, mimicking the process that powers the sun. Fusion has the potential to generate more energy and produce less waste compared to fission.
It currently provides 19 percent of electricity in the US and a little less world-wide
Slightly less than 1000 fission bombs, no fusion bombs.
This process is called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission, a large, less stable nucleus is split into smaller, more stable nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. This reaction is the principle behind nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons.
In terms of energy per atom, nuclear fusion produces more energy than nuclear fission. Fusion reactions involve the combination of lighter atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. Fission reactions, on the other hand, involve the splitting of heavier atomic nuclei into smaller fragments, releasing energy.
