Small nuclei combine to form larger nuclei, releasing energy
Some mass converts to energy; products weigh less than original
Helium + neutron + energy
Nuclei must move at incredibly high speeds to overcome repulsion
Giant fusion reactors
Hydrogen nuclei fuse to make helium nuclei
5 billion years
Positive nuclei push apart; fundamental barrier to fusion
Millions of degrees Celsius
Getting more energy out than put in
Fusion joins light nuclei; fission splits heavy nuclei
Fusion needs extreme heat/pressure; fission needs slow neutron
Fusion uses hydrogen isotopes; fission uses uranium-235
Extreme conditions required are harder to achieve than fission
