does fusion nuclear reaction produce alpha and jamma ridation or just alpha
taregg said:Does fission nuclear station needs slow neurons in reaction. ...and nuclear fission bombs need fast neutrons..
A fusion nuclear reaction is a process in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.
Fusion nuclear reactions do not produce alpha radiation directly. Instead, they produce high energy particles such as protons, neutrons, and gamma rays. These particles can then interact with other atoms in the surrounding material, causing them to emit alpha radiation.
Alpha radiation can be harmful if a person is exposed to large amounts or for long periods of time. It can cause damage to living tissue and increase the risk of developing cancer. However, fusion nuclear reactions do not produce significant amounts of alpha radiation and are not considered a major health concern.
Fusion nuclear reactions have the potential to provide a virtually limitless source of clean energy. They produce no greenhouse gases, radioactive waste, or other harmful byproducts. They also use readily available fuels, such as hydrogen, and have a very high energy output compared to other energy sources.
No, fusion nuclear reactions are not currently being used for energy production on a large scale. Scientists are still working to develop and control the technology needed for sustained fusion reactions. However, there are ongoing research projects and experiments in various countries that are making progress towards this goal.
