Not needing to find refine and enrich uranium, and not having spent fuel containing large quantities of long lived radioactive fission products. On the other hand tritium has to be made as one component of the fusion fuel, and this is dangerous stuff to handle. The engineering aspects of a fusion plant have hardly been defined as yet, and it may be more difficult than hoped at present. Anyway it is many years off, fifty years at least, before such a plant will be in operation.
What else can I help you with?
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
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.
When elements are combined to produce another element this is called?
When elements are combined to produce another element, this process is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the process in which two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the process that powers the sun and other stars.
How does fusion relate to the sun?
Fusion is the process by which the sun produces energy. In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat and light in the process. This continuous fusion reaction is what powers the sun and allows it to shine.
What is the name of the process where two atoms combine to make a larger one releasing energy?
The process is called nuclear fusion. In nuclear fusion, two atoms combine to form a larger atom, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This is the process that powers the sun and stars.
What is the process of joining metal by fusion?
1. _________ is the process of joining metal parts of fusion. The process of joining metal parts by fusion is known as arc welding.
What is fusion Is it a chemical?
Fusion is not a chemical, it is a process. Fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei merge together to form the nucleus of a heavier element.
What is the process of joining metal parts by fusion?
1. _________ is the process of joining metal parts of fusion. The process of joining metal parts by fusion is known as arc welding.
Does fusion absorb energy during the process?
Yes, fusion absorbs energy during the process.
Which elements are involved during the process of fusion in the sun?
Hydrogen is turned into helium in the fusion process that releases the Sun's energy.
What is new application enabled by Asynchronous Transfer Mode?
ATM is a fusion between fast switching and synchronous multiplexing technique.
How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?
Because it is a fission process, not fusion
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is it so that light and heat from a star are made by chemical process called nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion, yes. But that's not a chemical process.
What is fusion in the stars?
Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.
What process powers a star?
nuclear fusion
What is the physical process in a reaction of metals?
fusion
