Production of Nuclear Energy (2)

Science

Not quite remember

I easily remember

Nuclear fusion (1)

The process of fusing or combining two light radioactive nuclei to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy

Example of nuclear fusion

Two light and small nuclei such as deuterium and tritium (hydrogen isotope) combine to form a bigger and heavier nucleus

Nuclear fusion in the sun (1)

Nuclear fussion occurs continuously in the Sun

Nuclear fusion in the sun (2)

Nuclear fusion occurs continuously in the Sun because the Sun has hydrogen isotopes and high temperature

Nuclear fusion in the sun (3)

The energy released from the nuclear fusion in the sun is the main source of energy for life on earth

Nuclear fusion (2)

This process occurs at very high temperature

Nuclear fusion (3)

This process releases more nuclear energy than nuclear fission

Example of the fusion of two isotopes of hydrogen

Factors that cause nucleus require high temperatures

To produce a plasma in which fusion can occur

Main use of nuclear energy

To generate electricity
