Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is a benefit of nuclear fission?
A
The ability to absorb energy
B
The ability to release tremendous amounts of energy
C
The ability to produce more energy than nuclear fusion
D
There are no beneficial aspects of nuclear fission
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When each atom splits, a tremendous amount of energy is released. Uranium and plutonium are most commonly used for fission reactions in nuclear power reactors because they are easy to initiate and control. The energy released by fission in these reactors heats water into steam.

Detailed explanation-2: -Advantages of nuclear power Nuclear fission does not release the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. A controlled nuclear fission reaction releases one million times more energy per kg than a chemical reaction such as burning coal, oil or gas.

Detailed explanation-3: -In contrast to fossil fuels, which causes serious damage to the environment, nuclear fission produces energy without releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which reduces the effects of global warming and even helps fight pollution.

Detailed explanation-4: -The advantages of nuclear power are: One of the most low-carbon energy sources. It also has one of the smallest carbon footprints. It’s one of the answers to the energy gap. It’s essential to our response to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The potential advantages of nuclear fusion energy are manifold, as it represents a long-term, sustainable, economic and safe energy source for electricity generation. Fuel is inexpensive and abundant in nature, while the amount of long-lived radioactive waste and greenhouse gases produced through fusion are minimal.
