The conditions for nuclear fusion are high temperatures and high pressure.The high temperature gives the atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons.
Pressure squeezes the hydrogen atoms together. They must be within 1x10
-15meters of each other to fuse.
With current technology, we can only achieve the temperatures and pressures necessary to make deuterium-tritium fusion possible.
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.
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 process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
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.
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.
Can americium produce nuclear fusion?
Americium was not tested to produce nuclear fusion.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
What is it called when nuclear fusion occurs on the sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of all the sun's energy, and all other stars. It is just called nuclear fusion.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
