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 is the importance of a fusion reactor?
A fusion reactor has the potential to provide a virtually limitless source of clean energy by harnessing the same process that powers the sun. It could help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change by providing a sustainable alternative energy source. Additionally, fusion reactors produce minimal radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission reactors.
What are the advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
You must realise that any claimed advantages are based on scientists predictions, and to some extent wishful thinking, as it is not even determined in engineering terms how a nuclear fusion plant could be built, what materials could be used, and how the heat would be extracted. However ever since fusion was proposed, scientists have been pointing out that it would produce much less radioactivity than fission does, and this is true, there would not be the spent fuel containing very highly active fission products that fission produces. There would be activation of structures in the plant due to the neutron irradiation coming from the plasma undergoing fusion. There are also consequences from needing to produce the tritium fuel, which is a dangerous substance to human health. So it all depends on future progress with ITER and further test rigs, but at the moment it is academic since it is very unlikely to happen within this century.
Is nuclear reactors using Pu-239 a renewable source of energy?
No, nuclear reactors using Pu-239 are not considered a renewable source of energy. Although Pu-239 is a fuel source that can be used to generate electricity for an extended period, it is not naturally replenished in a human timescale.
How much energy can nuclear power use if it was in the world?
I think you must mean how much energy can nuclear power supply , not use, and it is in the world-where else? In the US there are about 100 nuclear reactors and they supply about 20 percent of the nation's electricity

What is the main use of Uranium-238?
The main use of Uranium-238 is as a fuel in nuclear reactors to generate electricity through nuclear fission. It is not used for nuclear weapons as its fissionability is limited, but it plays a crucial role in sustaining nuclear power generation.
