Describe three advantages nuclear fusion would have over nuclear fission?

1. Unlike fission, during fusion tremendous amount of energy is liberated. Hence fusion of a very small mass generates large amount of energy. 2. Unlike fission the products of fusion reactions are not radio-active. Thus they are harmless and can be replaced easily. 3. Highly penetrating radiations are liberated during fission, which are highly hazardous.
