Nuclear Fusion Flashcards
Nuclear …………… is the oppersite of nuclear fission
Fusion
In nuclear fusion 2 light …………… combine to create larger molecules
Nuclei
Most common example of nuclear fusion is two different …………… creating helium
Hydrogen isotopes
Fusion releases …………… energy than fission
A lot more
All the energy in stars comes from …………… at extremely high ……………
Fusion
Temperatures and pressures
Fusion doesent leave very much ……………
Waste
There’s plenty of hydrogen to use as fuel in
Nuclear fusion
The biggest problem is fusion happens at ……………
Really high pressures and temperatures
How many decrees does fusion happen at
10,000,000
Fusion reactors are really hard to build because
They have such high temperes and pressures
It’s hard to safely control the
High temperatures and pressures
It takes more power to get up to the right temperature than the
Reactor can produce
Nuclear fusion is only being (at the moment)
Experimented on at the moment no power is made by it
Nuclear bombs use …………… to get o the right temp and then ……………for the explosion
Fission
