If carbon were used as nuclear fuel it would be best?

Carbon is not commonly used as nuclear fuel because it does not readily undergo nuclear fission reactions. Elements such as uranium and plutonium are more suitable for use as nuclear fuels due to their ability to sustain nuclear chain reactions.


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.


What method do we use for generating energy, nuclear fusion or fission?

Nuclear fission is the method currently used for generating energy, while nuclear fusion is still being developed for practical use.


Does nuclear fusion provides energy to green plants to grow?

No, nuclear fusion does not directly provide energy to green plants to grow. Green plants rely on photosynthesis, a process that converts sunlight into energy, to grow and produce food. Nuclear fusion is a process that occurs in stars and has the potential to provide a vast source of clean energy for human use.


What is the difference between cold fusion and what nuclear power plants do to create energy?

Cold fusion is a theoretical nuclear reaction that supposedly occurs at room temperature, while nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat and produce electricity. Cold fusion has not been reliably demonstrated, while nuclear power plants worldwide successfully use fission to generate a significant portion of electricity.

What do they use nuclear fusion for?

Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose at present, it is still in the experimental phase

Why can't they use the nuclear fusion rocket technology in for power production?

Nuclear fusion rocket technology is too expensive to use as a means for power production.


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.

Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?

No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.


How is the nuclear energy in use different from fusion energy?

Because it is a fission process, not fusion

Do geologists use nuclear?

Nuclear explosives, no! Nuclear dating methods, yes.


How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?

There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future
