Q » How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear fission
27 Oct, 2025
A » Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are both nuclear reactions that release energy, but they operate differently. Fusion combines light atomic nuclei, such as hydrogen, to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy, as seen in stars. Fission, on the other hand, splits a heavy nucleus, like uranium, into smaller nuclei, also releasing energy. Fusion offers the potential for cleaner, more abundant energy, while fission is currently more technologically feasible.
