Question

If you had to pick between fission or fusion to power the world, which would you pick and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

I will pick fusion over fission.

Explanation:

Fission and Fusion are nuclear processes in which atoms are altered to create energy.

By definition, fission is simply the division of one atom into two atoms while fusion is simply the combination of two lighter atoms to produce a bigger atom.

I will pick fusion over fission for the following reasons;

- Fusion reactions produces far greater amounts of energy than fission reactions normally produce.

- Fusion does not produce radioactive, toxic waste products that can damage the environment we live whereas fission does so.
