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 nuclear reaction is used on earth to produce electricity?

Nuclear fission is the nuclear reaction used on Earth to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. In this process, uranium or plutonium atoms are split, releasing a large amount of energy that is harnessed to generate electricity.


What nuclear reaction combines gas to form helium and produce most of the suns energy?

The nuclear reaction that combines hydrogen to form helium and produces most of the sun's energy is called nuclear fusion. In this reaction, hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together to form helium nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.


In a nuclear reaction mass must be a lost to produce energy?

The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.


What are the characteristics and implications of an endothermic nuclear reaction?

An endothermic nuclear reaction absorbs energy from its surroundings to occur. This type of reaction typically requires a higher input of energy to initiate and sustain compared to an exothermic reaction. The implications of an endothermic nuclear reaction include the potential for greater control over the reaction process and the ability to produce specific isotopes or elements through nuclear transmutation. Additionally, endothermic reactions can be used in nuclear power generation and scientific research to study nuclear processes.


Where does the energy come from in a nuclear fission reaction?

In a nuclear fission reaction, the energy comes from the splitting of atomic nuclei.

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.


does nuclear fission produce energy?

A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.


What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?

We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.


What kind of reaction occurs to produce energy inside a star?

Nuclear Fusion


What do nuclear reactions on the sun produce?

Nuclear reaction inside the Sun is fusing of Hydrogen to Helium and release out thermal energy.

In a nuclear reaction mass must be lost to produce energy. true or false?

False. Both mass and energy are conserved.


Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?

Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay


What is artificial nuclear reactor?

An artificial nuclear reactor is a device that initiates and controls a sustained nuclear chain reaction. This reaction produces heat, which is used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. The fission process in these reactors generates energy by splitting atomic nuclei.

What is a source of energy that needs another source of energy to produce it?

Nuclear energy requires an external source of energy to initiate the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that produce energy. This initial energy input is typically in the form of electricity or another type of fuel to start the chain reaction.
