Two common reasons people do not use nuclear energy are concerns about safety due to the potential risk of accidents leading to radioactive leaks, and the long-term management of nuclear waste, which poses environmental and health risks. Additionally, the high initial cost of building nuclear power plants is also a deterrent for some.

What are two common sources of nuclear energy?
Two common sources of nuclear energy are nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, and nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined to release energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to generate electricity, while nuclear fusion is a process being researched as a potential future source of clean energy.
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
Which term is used to indicate the process in which two small atomic nuclei emerge from a larger one?
nuclear fusion
What is the best definition of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the joining of two or more nuclei into one nucleus (apex) CORRECT ANSWER!!!!!!
Occurs when a large nucleus splits releasing energy and two smaller nuclei?
Nuclear fission is a process in which a large, unstable nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of radiation and kinetic energy. This process is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
