nuclear fission involves the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei while nuclear fusion involves the combining of light nuclei into a single heavier nucleus both processes produce vast amounts of energy but each has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages as an energy source
Asked by: Sohaib. Fission only produces more energy than it consumes in large nuclei (common examples are Uranium & Plutonium, which have around 240 nucleons (nucleon = proton or neutron)). Fusion only produces more energy than it consumes in small nuclei (in stars, Hydrogen & its isotopes fusing into Helium).The energy released when 4 Hydrogen nuclei (= protons) fuse (there are some decays involved as well) into a Helium nucleus is around 27 Million Electron Volts (MeV), or about 7 MeV per nucleon.sked by: Sohaib.
