PRESENTATION OUTLINE

NUCLEAR FUSION

JARRED MILLIGAN

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
