Nuclear medicine involves the use of radioactive materials, which typically undergo nuclear decay processes such as beta decay or gamma emission to emit radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. This is a form of nuclear fission rather than fusion, as it involves the splitting of atomic nuclei to release energy.

What happens from the sun's nuclear fision?

Not much to speak of. There is no significant amount of nuclear fission going on in the Sun.


What is the difference between nuclear fision and nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion is the combining of two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy. Fission is the process used in nuclear power plants, while fusion is what powers the sun and other stars.
