Question

in terms of amounts of energy and harmful radioactive waste produced , which of the following is the most accurate comparison of fission and fusion

Answer 1

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion produces more energy with less radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission process.

• In nuclear fission, a radioactive decay occurs in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into two lighter nuclei and several neutrons with the release of energy.
• Nuclear fusion occurs when small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
• Instability of a nuclide is enough to start up a nuclear fission reaction. In some instances, a heavy nuclide is bombarded with another nuclide.
• In nuclear fusion, the activation energy required to start up is very great.

Nuclear wastes emanating from nuclear fusion process is least compared to that of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion produces more energy  compared to nuclear fission process.
