PRESENTATION OUTLINE
NUCLEAR FUSION IS AN ATOMIC REACTION THAT FUELS STARS
NUCLEAR FUSION IN PHYSICS IS THE JOINING OF TWO ATOMIC NUCLEI, FORMING ONE HEAVY NUCLEUS
OCCURS NATURALLY ON THE SUN
NUCLEAR FUSION CAN ALSO HAPPEN IN LABRATORIES BY TEST
FUSION POWER IS THE ENERGY GENERATED BY NUCLEAR FUSION
FUSION REACTORS ARE GENERALLY REALLY SAFE
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR FUSION FOR 70 YEARS
WE WILL NEVER HAVE NUCLEAR FUSION AS GREAT AS THE SUN BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE AS MUCH GRAVITY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NUCLEAR FUSION AND FISSION
- Fusion- the joining of two nuclear atoms
- Fission- the seperation of two nuclear atoms
