Absolutely, mostly as 15 MeV neutrons. This causes neutron activated secondary radioactivity in surrounding material. On decommissioning a fusion reactor (assuming we ever figure out how to build one) this part of the reactor would have to be handled as radioactive waste, just as the non-fuel assemblies of a fission reactor must be treated now. There is also alpha radiation, but the biggest problem here is weakening and flaking of a thin layer of reactor vessel wall due to helium bubble accumulation.
What else can I help you with?
Is the produced from a meteor is produced by nuclear fusion?
No, the light produced from a meteor is not due to nuclear fusion. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, the friction with air molecules causes it to heat up and glow, resulting in the light we see. This phenomenon is known as "incandescence."
Does heat produced by nuclear fusion causes stars to glow?
Yes, the heat produced by nuclear fusion in the core of a star is what makes the star glow and emit light and heat. This fusion process converts hydrogen into helium and releases energy in the form of light and heat.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
Can you use the energy produced by nuclear fusion for something?
Sure, you can get a tan from it, since the Sun is a big fusion power reactor. In the near future we will be able to build fusion reactors here on Earth. Google "ITER" to see how it's going. In the meantime I suppose you can say the fusion power is actually solar energy.
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
What kind of nuclear energy is produced by hydrogen bombs and stars?
This is produced by nuclear fusion
What kind of energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes?
Nuclear energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes.
How is energy produced in a star?
Nuclear fusion and hydrogen.
Is nuclear energy produced by the sunlight?
No, nuclear energy is not produced by sunlight. Nuclear energy is generated from the process of splitting atoms in a power plant, while sunlight produces solar energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms in the sun.
Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.
When is the Suns energy produced?
The energy was basically there since the beginning of the Universe, i.e., the Big Bang. The Sun converts the energy through a process called nuclear fusion.
Does nuclear fusion create thermal energy?
Yes, fusion is exothermic until nickel & iron are produced.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
How is the energy of the produced?
Nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?
Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.
How is the sun energy produced?
Nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where Hydrogen-1 is converted to Helium-4 plus energy.
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.
