| The process of nuclear fission and fusion is very difficult for me to understand, can you be of assistance? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Well I can but I don't want to bore you. | |

| Nope, i must pay attention. Nuclear fission and fusion seem exciting. | |

| Okay. During nuclear fission the nucleus of a heavy atom is slpit into 2 or more lighter nuclei.The products are nuclei and nucleons.Fission is the primary power source for nuclear powered reactors. | |

| Fusion is the opposite. The light atoms combined to make heavier atoms. Fusin is the primary source that fuels our sun. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Wow. They are both very important energy providers. I do know this, both fission and fusion release enormous amounts of heat and electrical energy. | |
