Physics - Nuclear fission Fission is where the parts of the atom dissassociate: radiation has different types, alpha, beta and gama. As things in nature degenerate such as carbon 14 to Nitrogen with Beta emission. That is a form of fission-although it happens over verrrrrry long periods of time. It happens with certain unstable isotopes and very large atoms: hence elements on the bottom of the Periodic Table and the lantanides and the actinides contain a lot of these unstable (radioactive) elements. (it is also happening on the sun constantly-every minute of every day. Fusion also happens on the sun. (fusion is where parts of the atom associate or gather). Biology - Binary fission Fission is the asexual reproduction of prokaryotic cells. Cells copy their DNA then grow in size beofre pinching off and creating two identical cells. It occurs every where you find bacteria, which really means everywhere on Earth from the Arctic/top of mount Everest to the deepest hydrothermal vents in the ocean.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Does nuclear fusion happen in the convection zone?
No, nuclear fusion does not occur in the convection zone of a star. Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star. The convection zone is a region of the star where heat is transported through the movement of gas, but fusion does not occur there.
Does size help nuclear fusion occur?
Yes, but on earth we are limited in size
Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
What is the temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur?
The temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur is around 100 million degrees Celsius.
When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
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.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in any star?
in the djfafkjkvn
Where does nuclear fusion occur and why?
In the cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.
Where does most nuclear fusion occur in your solar system?
Sun
Why does nuclear fusion not occur on earth?
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth
Fusion reactions on the sun?
yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
Does nuclear fusion happen in the convection zone?

Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star.

Does size help nuclear fusion occur?
Yes, but on earth we are limited in size
How does nuclear fusion occur in the sun's interior core?
High temp and pressure
