Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?

I currently use nuclear fusion.


What do they use nuclear fusion for?

Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose at present, it is still in the experimental phase


Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?

Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.


Why can't they use the nuclear fusion rocket technology in for power production?

Nuclear fusion rocket technology is too expensive to use as a means for power production.


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.


What method do we use for generating energy, nuclear fusion or fission?

Nuclear fission is the method currently used for generating energy, while nuclear fusion is still being developed for practical use.


Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?

No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.


What is a change that occurs when one or more substances change into new substances with different properties?

Chemical reactions, normally. However, radioactivity, nuclear fission, or nuclear fusion also fit this definition.


How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?

Because it is a fission process, not fusion


What is a chang that occurs when one or more substances change into a entirely new substances with different properties?

Chemical reactions, normally. However, radioactivity, nuclear fission, or nuclear fusion also fit this definition.


How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?

There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future


What are two reasons that people have not been able to use nuclear fusion as an energy source?

Nuclear fusion is unsure now at industrial scale.
