Nuclear fusion does not make electricity. We do not yet have the technology to do so. We are working on it, but the difficulties are enormous. Barring some stupendous discovery, I think we are at least 50 or 100 years away from a controlled large scale nuclear fusion reaction.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Do electricity contain fusion?
No, electricity does not contain fusion. Fusion is a nuclear reaction that occurs in the core of stars, where protons and neutrons combine to form heavier elements, releasing large amounts of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons in a conductor, created by the movement of charged particles.
What is nuclear enegry?
Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions either by fusion or fission of atomic nuclei. In nuclear fission, atoms are split releasing a large amount of energy, while in nuclear fusion, atoms are combined to release energy. This energy can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
What are two common sources of nuclear energy?
Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
What are the disadvantages of nuclear fusion for electricity?
It has not been developed enough to make this clear
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.
To reduce climate damage scientists hope to generate electricity from nuclear energy through what?
Scientists hope to generate electricity and heat through nuclear fusion as well as nuclear fission.
What is the difference between a bioreactor and nuclear reactor?
A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.
Does lightning produce more power than nuclear fusion?
No, nuclear fusion produces vastly more power than lightning. Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the sun and other stars, generating massive amounts of energy through the fusion of atoms. Lightning, while powerful in a localized sense, is a discharge of static electricity that pales in comparison to the energy output of nuclear fusion.
If Nuclear fission is used to produce electricity why isn't nuclear fusion used in the same way?
Lot harder to create and maintain.
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 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.
Nuclear fusion reactions release more energy than fission reactions while also generating less waste However you do not currently use nuclear fusion reactors to generate electricity What is the ma?
The main challenges of using nuclear fusion for electricity generation include controlling the high temperatures and pressures required for fusion reactions, sustaining the reaction over long periods, and developing materials that can withstand the intense radiation produced. Research is ongoing to overcome these challenges and develop practical fusion reactors for commercial electricity production.
Is nuclei and nuclear fusion the same?
No. Nuclei are objects, nuclear fusion is a process in which those objects join to make bigger nuclei.
How does nuclear fusion spin a turbine?
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
