I am much more enthused about the many applications of nuclear fission in the present and near future. Fusion might have some applications that fission doesn’t have and vice versa. read more
The nuclear fusion reactor should achieve self-sustaining fusion reactions and produce in excess of several hundreds of MW of fusion power. But turning science to practical application is complex and challenging. read more
Nuclear fusion is essentially the opposite of nuclear fission. In fission, a heavy nucleus is split into smaller nuclei. With fusion, lighter nuclei are fused into a heavier nucleus. The fusion process is the reaction that powers the sun. read more
