What else can I help you with?
Can you use the energy produced by nuclear fusion for something?
Sure, you can get a tan from it, since the Sun is a big fusion power reactor. In the near future we will be able to build fusion reactors here on Earth. Google "ITER" to see how it's going. In the meantime I suppose you can say the fusion power is actually solar energy.
What did scientists manhatten project discover?
The Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb during World War II. The project's main discoveries included the successful creation and utilization of nuclear fission to produce a weapon of immense destructive power.
Why cant you use fusion to produce energy?
Scientists and engineers have not yet been able to build an apparatus to make it work-but they are still trying
Is nuclear energy produced by fusion?
Absolutely, mostly as 15 MeV neutrons. This causes neutron activated secondary radioactivity in surrounding material. On decommissioning a fusion reactor (assuming we ever figure out how to build one) this part of the reactor would have to be handled as radioactive waste, just as the non-fuel assemblies of a fission reactor must be treated now. There is also alpha radiation, but the biggest problem here is weakening and flaking of a thin layer of reactor vessel wall due to helium bubble accumulation.
What scientists would be needed to build a nuclear power plant?
Engineers specializing in nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering would be essential for designing and constructing a nuclear power plant. Additionally, nuclear physicists, health physicists, and materials scientists would be required for ensuring safety, radiation protection, and materials selection. Environmental scientists may also be involved in assessing and mitigating potential environmental impacts.
What percentage is nuclear fusion used in the US?
0% No country gets any of its energy from fusion as nobody has figured out how to build a controlled fusion reactor.
Scientists hope to build a nuclear fusion reactor fueled by?
Ocean Water
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Fusion reactors produce less radioactive waste compared to fission reactors. Fusion reactors use abundant sources such as deuterium and lithium for fuel, while fission reactors use limited sources like uranium. Fusion reactions release more energy per unit mass of fuel compared to fission reactions.
Is there an artificial sun?
Not yet, but people are trying to build a fusion reactor.
Does nuclear fusion occur in nuclear reactor?
No. "Reactors" contain fission reactions. No useful way of containing fusionon an industrial scale outside the laboratory has been developed yet.Edit: Tomak fusion reactors currently produce 10 times the energy that is put into them. The historical increase into the gain of fusion reactors has bettered the increase of capacity of DRAMs. The only reason that that it "isn't out of the laboratory" is because when you build a fusion reactor, it is usually called a laboratory.
Are nuclear fusion dangerus?
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
What resources will you lose if you build a nuclear reactor?
Primarily Concrete and electoral votes
Would it be a good idea to build a nuclear power reactor that utilized spontaneous fission?
maybe
What do you have to do to get nuclear energy?
You have to build a nuclear reactor which is an assembly of nuclear fuel and a moderator, which enables a chain fission reaction to start and continue, which releases thermal energy.
Who first invented nuclear reactors?
The nuclear reactor was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, in London, but he did not try to build one. The first functioning nuclear reactor, CP-1, was designed and built in 1942 by Enrico Fermi, in Chicago, IL.
Who was the inventor of first nuclear plant?
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor in 1933, but did not build it.Enrico Fermi built first nuclear reactor, CP-1 in 1942.Walter Zinn built the first nuclear power plant, EBR-1 in 1951.
How much does a fusion reactor cost?
Currently, the estimated cost to build a fusion reactor ranges from several billion to tens of billions of dollars, depending on the specific design and scale of the project. It is a significant investment that requires long-term funding and collaboration between governments and private institutions.
