fission is breaking big things up into smaller ones. fusion is joining little things together into bigger ones.
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.
Planets do not naturally generate nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars, where the extreme heat and pressure at the core allows hydrogen nuclei to merge and form helium, releasing energy in the process. Planets lack the conditions necessary for sustained nuclear fusion reactions.
Not much to speak of. There is no significant amount of nuclear fission going on in the Sun.
Mass defect is associated with nuclear reactions and nuclear binding energy. It refers to the difference between the measured mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This difference is released as energy when the nucleus is formed.
Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
The key difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion is the process by which they release energy. Nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei, while nuclear fusion involves combining light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus.
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.

Is this a medical question? I don't recognise the terms in nuclear energy This a medical terminology question. Sorry about that
Nuclear fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion is the combining of light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy. Fission is used in nuclear power plants, while fusion is a potential source of clean energy for the future.
A protosun is a young star in the early stages of formation, where nuclear fusion has not yet started in its core. Once nuclear fusion begins in the core, the protosun transitions into a sun and starts emitting light and heat.
Nuclear fusion is the process of combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy. Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei, also releasing energy. The main difference is in the reaction: fusion combines nuclei, while fission splits them.
Nuclear fusion is the process of combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy. Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei, also releasing a significant amount of energy. The key difference is in the reactions involved: fusion combines nuclei, while fission splits them.
