Nuclear fusion has not yet reached the point where it is practical for commercial use. However, it seems that it will cause much less polution than nuclear fission.

What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?

The benefit of nuclear fusion is its potential to provide a virtually limitless and clean energy source with minimal environmental impact. One thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common is that they both involve the release of energy by altering the nuclei of atoms, although through different processes.


How nuclear fusion and nuclear fission differ in terms of environmental hazards?

Nuclear fission involves splitting heavy atoms like uranium, generating radioactive waste that needs careful disposal. This waste poses long-term environmental hazards due to its radioactivity and potential for leakage. On the other hand, nuclear fusion involves combining light atoms like hydrogen, producing minimal radioactive waste that does not have long-term environmental impacts.

What are the main reasons why nuclear fusion have not been used in nuclear reactors?

Well, scientists have been researching fusion reactors for over 50 years, but nuclear fusion is much more difficult to achieve than nuclear fission, which is what current nuclear power technology is based on. There are many reasons for this, but while there have been tests and advancements in the field, scientists have yet to a) create a sustainable and stable nuclear fusion reaction and b) create a reaction that has a greater output than input.
