Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False? We are currently using nuclear fusion in our country. Hopefully we can develop nuclear fission as a sustainable resource in our lifetime.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Whereas fusion fuses two or more atoms together, fission is the opposite; it is the process of splitting a larger atom into two or more smaller ones. Nuclear fission is the kind of energy that powers nuclear reactors around the world today.

Detailed explanation-2: -Additionally, nuclear fusion does not produce carbon dioxide or long-lived nuclear waste, making it a highly sustainable option.

Detailed explanation-3: -The INCORRECT statement is Large quantity of nuclear waste is left in this process. The meaning of fusion in Nuclear Fusion is to join or to combine. Therefore, the process in which two nuclei of light electrons are combined to form a heavy nucleus is nuclear fusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fusion reactions can be self-sustaining because the energy released by fusing atoms supplies the energy necessary to fuse additionally available atoms, triggering a chain reaction.
