Well... It depends on what you mean by "a lot". The binding energy released from a fusion event is actually only about four times that of a fission event, however, the density of the much lighter elements involved in fusion (hydrogen) versus fission (uranium) results in a much more effective total mass to energy ratio, much more than a hundred times that of fission.
I'm not talking about delta-mass to energy - that is constant per e = mc2 - I'm talking about the total fuel mass versus the amount of energy available in the reaction.
What else can I help you with?
Must of the energy released by nuclear fission is in the from of what rays?
The energy released by nuclear fission is primarily in the form of gamma rays, which are high-energy electromagnetic radiation. These gamma rays are emitted as a result of the conversion of mass into energy during the fission process.
Does nuclear fission give off heat?
Yes, nuclear fission produces heat as a byproduct. When an atom is split during fission, a large amount of energy is released in the form of heat. This heat can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
What happens to the loss mass during fission?
It becomes energy, hence the energy released in nuclear bombs.
What is fission product?
Fission products are the fragments resulting from the fission of heavy nuclids during nuclear fission process
Is it true or false that uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.
Is nuclear energy released during nuclear fission?
Yes
Nuclear weapons in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
During the detonation of a nuclear bomb an enormous amount of energy is released as fission due to the splitting (fissioning) of atoms of uranium or plutonium. In the case of a simple nuclear weapon (such as those dropped on Japan during World War 2) this is where the explosion stops. In the case of a hydrogen bomb, also referred to as a thermonuclear weapon, the energy released by the fission is used to trigger the fusion of atoms of hydrogen, releasing energy in the same way that the sun produces energy.
How is energy released during nuclear fission?
During nuclear fission, energy is released when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
During nuclear fission, mass is converted into what?
During nuclear fission, mass is converted into energy.
Nuclear energy is released during what?
During that one time, you know. That one time is that one Science thing..? I am putting this up here because all of you other douchebags do this type of stuff, when I really need the answer. So, thanks boo boo..

What is the processes of fission?
Energy is released when the the mass of the nucleus of an atom is reduced by the release of neutrons and gamma photons during the process of nuclear fission.
Why is uranium used in nuclear powers?
Uranium-235 atoms release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per atom) during nuclear fission with thermal neutrons; this energy can be converted in electricity or heat.
What happens to the loss mass during fission?
It becomes energy, hence the energy released in nuclear bombs.
What is fission product?
Fission products are the fragments resulting from the fission of heavy nuclids during nuclear fission process
What happens in a nuclear reactor to create electricity?
In a nuclear reactor, the controlled splitting of atoms (nuclear fission) generates heat, which is used to produce steam from water. The steam then drives turbines that are connected to generators, producing electricity. The process essentially harnesses the heat energy released during nuclear fission to produce electricity.
