Does fusion create radioactive waste?
Yes, fusion does not create long-lived radioactive waste like fission does.
Does fusion produce radioactive waste?
Yes, fusion does not produce long-lived radioactive waste like nuclear fission.
How much waste does nuclear fusion produce?
Nuclear fusion produces very little waste compared to nuclear fission. The waste produced by nuclear fusion is mainly low-level radioactive material, which is easier to manage and has a shorter lifespan.
What is the difference between the use of fission as an energy source?
The difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source is that in fusion reaction, 2 or more light atomic nuclei fuses to form single heavier nucleus while in fission reaction, heavy atomic nucleus is usually splited into smaller nuclei, other particles and radiation.
What are the main advantage of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Fusion reactors produce energy by fusing atoms together, similar to the process that powers the sun, whereas fission reactors split atoms. Fusion reactions in reactors have the potential for abundant fuel supply with deuterium and lithium, low radioactive waste, and enhanced safety due to the inherent characteristics of the fusion process. Additionally, fusion reactions do not generate long-lasting radioactive waste like fission reactions, making them potentially more sustainable in the long term.
What photosynthesis waste product is formed in the reaction?
Oxygen
How do the waste products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fission reaction?
Most (but not all) fusion products are non-radioactive. Virtually all fission products are strongly radioactive beta or gamma emitters.
What product of the Krebs cycle is considered a waste of the reaction?
Carbon dioxide
Is carbon dioxide a waste product for plants?
No, Carbon dioxide is used by the plant to produce sugars during photosysnthesis. In this reaction Oxygen is a waste or by-product
While conducting aquatic photosynthesis what very important waste product is released in to the water by the plant?
The waste product that is formed in the light reaction is ATP and NADPH.
What product of the Krebs cycle is considered a waste products of the reaction?
Carbon dioxide
Is heat a waste product?
Heat is not usually considered a waste product. It is a form of energy that can be harnessed and used in various ways, such as to generate electricity, provide warmth, or drive chemical reactions. However, excess heat that is not utilized efficiently or escapes unnecessarily can be seen as a waste.
What are waste by-product?
they are basically what you get after a reaction so if you were writing the by-products or waste products of photosynthesis CO2 and H20 arrow O2 and glucose the O2 and glucose are the waste products or otherwise called by products generally a waste product is one that you do not want
Would fusion be a better choice since it generates no wastes and requires only hydrogen for fuel?
If we ever get to that point, yes - but pure hydrogen fusion is a LONG way off. Current fusion processes are dependent on deuterium ("heavy hydrogen", or hydrogen with an extra neutron) or tritium (hydrogen with TWO neutrons). Please note that tritium is fairly radioactive, with a half-life of a bit over 12 years. Our relatively primitive fusion processes do generate radioactive waste, by irradiating the materials used to maintain and control the fusion reaction. Apollo astronaut Harrison Schmidt wants to go back to the Moon, and mine the lunar dust for fusion fuel. His idea is that after about 4.5 billion years of solar wind, the Moon must be pretty rich in Helium-3, which would serve as an excellent fuel for fusion reactors. That, also, will generate hazardous waste. Don't get me wrong; I like fusion, and I think we need to develop it. But don't think that there won't be any radioactive waste in the process.
Why is Nuclear fusion better than Nuclear fission?
At the moment it's not because nobody has been able to get it to work for the sort of duration necessary for power production. There are, however a couple of nice advantages over fusion: - No radioactive waste products (the product is helium-4) - No radioactive raw material (need heavy hydrogen) - Theoretically large energy gain per reaction On the down side it is technically very challenging, requiring extremely high pressure. Getting the inital reaction to start requires a lot of energy.
What waste product is formed in the light reaction that humans use daily?
In the light reaction of photosynthesis, oxygen is produced as a waste product. This oxygen is released into the atmosphere and is essential for humans as we breathe it in during respiration.
Is carbon dioxide a waste for a plant?
No, Carbon dioxide is used by the plant to produce sugars during photosysnthesis. In this reaction Oxygen is a waste or by-product
