What kind of energy is given off from a nuclear fusion reaction and from a nuclear fission reaction?
the "disappearance" of a small amount of mass. Most of the energy from nuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium, which is the most likely reaction to be harnessed by man, is given off as kinetic energy of the neutrons formed. This is one of the problems involved-how to make use of this energy, even when the plasma can be contained and made to fuse, which has only been achieved for brief bursts so far. The neutrons will have to be stopped in some material surrounding the plasma to produce heat, but what material will stand up to these conditions is not clear.
In nuclear fission most of the energy appears first as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, which are then stopped in the fuel resulting in heat being generated which can be removed by the coolant, water or gas. There is also some gamma ray energy released.

How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reaction?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in nuclear reactor?

How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
What type of reaction supplies the most energy?
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion

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.
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
Do H-bombs deal with fission?
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
Fission and fusion is an example of what kind of energy?
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.

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.

Why fusion reaction are more energetic than fission reactions?
Nuclear fission does not produce more energy than nuclear fusion. In nuclear fusion (6.4 MeV) per nucleon is given out which is much greater than the energy given out per nucleon (1 MeV) during a nuclear fission reaction.
