Nuclear medicine involves the use of radioactive materials, which typically undergo nuclear decay processes such as beta decay or gamma emission to emit radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. This is a form of nuclear fission rather than fusion, as it involves the splitting of atomic nuclei to release energy.

What happens from the sun's nuclear fision?
In the sun, nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is what powers the sun and sustains life on Earth.
What is the difference between nuclear fision and nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion is the combining of two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy. Fission is the process used in nuclear power plants, while fusion is what powers the sun and other stars.
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.

What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
Can americium produce nuclear fusion?
Americium was not tested to produce nuclear fusion.
What has the author Leonard M Freeman written?

Freeman has written: 'Nuclear Medicine Annual 1999 (Nuclear Medicine Annual)' 'Nuclear Medicine Annual 1995 (Nuclear Medicine Annual)' 'Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1991' 'Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1983' 'Radionuclide studies in evaluation of trauma' -- subject(s): Radioisotopes in medical diagnosis, Traumatology 'Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1990 (Nuclear Medicine Annual)' 'Nuclear Medicine Annual 1996 (Nuclear Medicine Annual)' 'Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1993' 'Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1982'
What is it called when nuclear fusion occurs on the sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of all the sun's energy, and all other stars. It is just called nuclear fusion.
