Nuclear fusion is used in some nuclear power plants that can handle the heat and radiation without suffering a meltdown. You should check out nuclear fission in power plants first.

Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?

I currently use nuclear fusion.


What kind of energy do we use for uranium in use in the fusion power plant?

Uranium has stored energy (potential energy), more specifically, nuclear energy.


What do they use nuclear fusion for?

Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose at present, it is still in the experimental phase


What are two common sources of nuclear energy?

Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.


Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?

Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.


How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?

Nuclear energy typically refers to fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion energy involves merging atoms to release energy, mimicking the process that powers the sun. Fusion has the potential to generate more energy and produce less waste compared to fission.


Why can't they use the nuclear fusion rocket technology in for power production?

Nuclear fusion rocket technology is too expensive to use as a means for power production.


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.


What method do we use for generating energy, nuclear fusion or fission?

Nuclear fission is the method currently used for generating energy, while nuclear fusion is still being developed for practical use.


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.


How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?

Because it is a fission process, not fusion


Does nuclear fusion provides energy to green plants to grow?

No, nuclear fusion does not directly provide energy to green plants to grow. Green plants rely on photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight into energy, to grow and produce food. Nuclear fusion is a process that occurs in stars and has the potential to provide a vast source of clean energy for human use.
