... b. Either 2 or 3 neutrons are also produced with the products. c. These neutrons act as "bullets" to ram into other unstable nuclei and split them, resulting in a chain reaction. d. All nuclear reactors in the world are fission reactors. 1) They cannot "blow up" like an atom bomb. 2) They produce ra ...

Nuclear Energy
... Nuclear Fusion is the combining of 2 atomic nuclei to produce a single larger nucleus. Advantages: 1. It produces more energy per atom than nuclear fission. 2. It is readily available. 3. It is safer 4. Less polluting than nuclear fission. ...
