C. Fission: may create radioactive nuclei, may undergo a chain reaction Fusion: energy source for stars Fission and fusion: large amount of energy produced
Not all types of nuclear fuels create power from nuclear fission. Plutonium-238 and some other elements are used to produce small amounts of nuclear power by radioactive decay in radioisotope thermoelectric generators and other types of atomic batteries. Also, light nuclides such as tritium (3 H) can be used as fuel for nuclear fusion.
