Nuclear fusion, like any process of producing power, uses fuel in doing so. In the stars, where fusion is the source of their energy, hydrogen is being used in fusion, producing helium plus energy. In any star the supply of hydrogen will eventually run out and the star will die, but its lifetime will be immensely long, many billions of years.
On earth, if fusion can be made to work, it will use isotopes of hydrogen which are abundant, so as a source of energy it would last for many thousands of years.
What else can I help you with?
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
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 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.
Does nuclear fusion occurs as stars cool down?
The star will continue to fuse hydrogen until it runs out of resources and dies out, after which it will collapse and die.
Nuclear fusion opperratin?
Nuclear fusion on earth has not been achieved in any way that could produce power, but experiments continue.
Can you use nuclear fusion on Earth?
It may be possible, experiments continue but success is a long way off.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
How many years of nuclear power are left?
With fission reactors, probably at least a hundred years. By then fusion may be usable and this will last indefinitely, as so much deuterium is in the oceans.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
What is important about the onset of fusion?
"The onset of fusion marks the birth of stars. Once nuclear fusion begins in a star,the prcess can continue for billions of years." I got this info. from my text book, hope it helped you. :T
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
A system of energy production that can be kept going for a long period or indefinitely is also defined as?
A self-sustaining energy production system, such as nuclear fusion, that can operate for an extended period or indefinitely without external input is often referred to as a sustainable or perpetual energy source.
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.
