Nuclear fission is exhibited by employing uranium (and thorium), in which the nucleus flies aside into 2 or extra products, and emits neutrons contained in the approach. If the fission is instigated by employing seize of a neutron, then a collection reaction is achievable, and potential ought to correctly be produced or an explosive made. The fragments have a tendency to be surprisingly radioactive, and pose conceivable to workers and kit, so particular recommendations are required to construct possibility-free potential reactors. Nuclear fusion is the blend of light nuclei to make heavier ones, as contained in the sunlight the position hydrogen atoms are mixed to make helium. the approach produces a number of circumstances extra potential than fission on a pound-for-pound foundation, yet won't be able to be set up to be a collection reaction as hydrogen does no longer react at temperatures decrease than many 1000's of thousands of degrees.

Nuclear fusion is the basis for sun/stars. When we have so much energy to harvest, why a new nuclear reactor on earth to duplicate this?

Nobody has yet been able to make the fusion reaction self-sustaining; that is, producing more energy, sustainably, than it took to get it started. Sorry.
