Compare and contrast nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.Both fission and fusion are nuclear processes by which atoms are altered to create energy, fission is the division of one atom into two, and fusion is the combination of two lighter atoms into a larger oneAre other countries in the world using more nuclear power than the United States? If so, which ones?noneDescribe the waste generated by nuclear power.High-level radioactive waste primarily is uranium fuel that has been used in a nuclear power reactor and is "spent," or no longer efficient in producing electricity. Spent fuel is thermally hot as well as highly radioactive and requires remote handling and shielding.What are the risks and benefits of nuclear power?Nuclear power plants don't emit greenhouse gases and are not easily destroyed by natural calamities.Explain the role of the control rods in a nuclear reactor.A rod, plate, or tube containing a material such as hafnium, boron, etc., used to control the power of a nuclear reactor.Explain the role of the control rods in a nuclear reactor.A rod, plate, or tube containing a material such as hafnium, boron, etc., used to control the power of a nuclear reactor.What are the risks and benefits of nuclear power?Nuclear power plants don't emit greenhouse gases and are not easily destroyed by natural calamities.Describe the waste generated by nuclear power.High-level radioactive waste primarily is uranium fuel that has been used in a nuclear power reactor and is "spent," or no longer efficient in producing electricity.
