Nuclear fusion is the merging of two light atomic nuclei to form a single heavier nucleus, with the release of energy, radiation and sub-atomic particles (neutrons). This definition is at the very basic level. The process of fusion is very complex to the point that whole books have been written on it. Nuclear fusion is a form of renewable energy. It is different from nuclear fission due to the following: The radioactive wastes produced are minimal or zero in the case of fusion. Those produced from fission are not easy to work with and dispose. The energy produced from fusion can be three times greater than that of fission The raw materials of fusion (isotopes of hydrogen: deutrium and tritium) can be extracted from water, which is abundant on earth, unlike uranium and plutonium. The availability of the raw materials makes fusion a renewable energy source. A meltdown, which is the destruction of the reacting core cannot occur in fusion. Any serious technical issue automatically switches of the process of fusion. A bit of technical lingo Plasma If you need to read more... Just continue here https://techwinx.com/nuclear-f...
