Nuclear fission does not produce more energy than nuclear fusion.
In nuclear fusion (6.4 MeV) per nucleon is given out which is much greater than
the energy given out per nucleon (1 MeV) during a nuclear fission reaction.

Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
Why does a fission reaction occur more readily than a fusion reaction?
Fission reactions are sustained by normal decay of radioactive material. All you need is a sufficient quantity of it in a small enough space and you can have a controlled or uncontrolled reaction. Fusion requires the collision of atoms at very high energies, something that is not easily done. That requires a particle accelerator or the blast from a fission reaction to achieve.
Why is it more difficult to start a fusion reaction than fission?
Fission reactions start naturally if the proportion of U-235 is high enough; there is evidence this has happened in places in Africa in the distant past of Earth's history. Fusion reactions require more heat and pressure than we really know how to provide so as to keep a reaction going.
Is the bomb little boy a fission or fusion reaction?
Little Boy is a Nuclear Fission Reaction
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
What is the importance of nuclear reaction?
the importance of nuclear reactions are very important.for energy purpose these reactions are very important because many energetic outgoing particles produce fission and fusion.

Are nuclear reactions and nuclear fusions the same thing?
Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction, but so is fission. So not all nuclear reactions are fission.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.

A fission reaction is similar to a fusion reaction in that both reactions involve?
-- changes to the nuclei of the atoms involved -- the conversion of mass to energy
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What provides the energy for production of electromagnetic wave in the sun?
Nuclear fission and reaction, intense heat.
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
What is the opposite reaction to fusion?
fission
