The nuclear fission and/or fusion results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.

Why is nuclear fusion less harmful than a nuclear fission?

Lack (or reduced) fission products. Fission products emit most of the harmful radiation in fallout.

What is the antonym of nuclear fusion?

The antonym of nuclear fusion is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.


Between nuclear fission and fussion radioactive by-product are more characteristic of which?

Nuclear fission typically produces more radioactive by-products compared to nuclear fusion. This is because fission involves the splitting of large atoms into smaller, unstable fragments which can emit radiation. Fusion, on the other hand, involves the combining of light atoms to form a heavier nucleus with less unstable by-products.


Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?

How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?

Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.


The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?

The two processes that produce nuclear changes are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion involves combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller ones. Both processes release a large amount of energy.


What are the main types of nuclear energy?

The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.


What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?

The benefit of nuclear fusion is its potential to provide a virtually limitless and clean energy source with minimal environmental impact. One thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common is that they both involve the release of energy by altering the nuclei of atoms, although through different processes.
