Yes, nuclear fusion is feasible as a potential source of clean energy. Both magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) are promising approaches being researched to achieve practical fusion energy production, each with its own advantages and challenges. Continued advancements in these technologies have the potential to make fusion energy a reality in the future.

What energy would be used in a nuclear reaction in a star?

Nuclear fusion.


What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?

If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.


What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?

That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.


What kind of energy would be nuclear fusion?

Nuclear energy, which is a kind of potential energy.


What are the technical problems relatd to nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion normally occurs at high temperatures and pressures. A fusion reaction would melt the container and would have to be suspended by a magnetic field in a vacuum and the container would have to be continually cooled to prevent a meltdown.


What are the technical problems related to nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and immense pressures to start and continue. The problems with a nuclear fusion reactor would be:- 1) the high temperatures would melt the container: therefore, the reaction would have to be stored in a vacuum suspended by a magnetic field and the reactor would have to be continually cooled. 2) nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars such as our sun: unless the fusion reaction was limited in size in some way, it would be likely that our planet is vapourised by the reaction.


Would you be likely to have nuclear weapons that utilize the procss of uclear fission or nuclear fusion?

both


What are the different types of nuclear weapons?

There are no different " Types " of weapons. It is what occurs inside of the bomb. nuclear fusion is when 2 nuclear particles join. Nuclear fission is when 2 nuclear particles split. Particle fusion is when 2 helium particles join. Say each particle weighs 1 gram. If 2 collided, then you would think that the mass would be 2. Well, there is a release of energy which is equivalent to a nuclear bomb going off. This occurs millions of times in the sun.


What do you call it when two or more atoms are touching?

If actually 'touching', I would think it was nuclear fusion. Two or more, sharing electrons would be an element or molecule, depending on the atoms.


Where would you find a nuclear fusion reaction occurring?

Nuclear fusion reactions occur in the core of stars, including the Sun, where high pressure and temperature conditions allow hydrogen atoms to combine and release a tremendous amount of energy. Scientists are also working on creating controlled nuclear fusion in experimental reactors on Earth as a potential source of sustainable energy.


Is fusion the difference between a nuclear weapon detonation and a conventional explosion?

Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.


What is the difference between hot nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion?

"Hot" nuclear fusion (this is not the term normally used) is exactly what the name implies, the materials are heated, which provides them with enough energy to overcome the normal repulsion of protons. Cold nuclear fusion requires no heating and has not yet been proved, although dozens of Physicists and Electro-Chemists have claimed to have created cold fusion. Cold Fusion relies on other forces, such as pressure, to overcome the electrostatic force of repulsion.
