Fusion reactions are not limitless. The fusion process can exhaust the supply of fuel and cause fusion to stop. Additionally, there are fusion processes that are not exothermic, but are endothermic and require energy to be put in to sustain them. Without the requisite input energy, fusion ceases.
What else can I help you with?
What type of nuclear reaction can produce a limitless source of energy?
You probably mean nuclear fusion, using heavy water found in the oceans. This would not be absolutely limitless, ie not strictly renewable, but as far as human existence goes it would be virtually limitless
What waste product does a fusion reaction generate?
A fusion reaction generates helium as a waste product.
What is the easiest fusion reaction to make?
The easiest fusion reaction to make is between deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen. This reaction requires the least amount of energy to initiate and is being pursued for fusion energy research.
What nuclear reaction happens when two small nuclei?
When two small nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus, it is known as nuclear fusion. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy, as predicted by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. Fusion reactions, such as those occurring in the Sun, have the potential to provide a nearly limitless source of clean energy.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
What type of nuclear reaction can produce a limitless source of energy?
You probably mean nuclear fusion, using heavy water found in the oceans. This would not be absolutely limitless, ie not strictly renewable, but as far as human existence goes it would be virtually limitless
Which type of nuclear reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy?
A nuclear fusion reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy. This occurs when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This releases a large amount of energy.
What waste product does a fusion reaction generate?
A fusion reaction generates helium as a waste product.
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
What happens when a fusion reaction is uncontrolled?
fusion bomb explosion
Describe what takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?
In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
What does fusion have to do with the sun?
Nuclear reaction
What is the opposite reaction to fusion?
fission
What do you think about Nuclear Fusion?
Nuclear fusion has the potential to provide a virtually limitless and clean source of energy by fusing lighter nuclei together to release energy. It produces no greenhouse gas emissions or long-lived radioactive waste, but significant technological challenges remain in achieving a sustainable fusion reaction. Research and development in fusion energy continue to progress towards unlocking its full potential as a future energy source.
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
