Nuclear fission is the reverse process of fusion.

Nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together, or " fuse ", to form a single heavier nucleus.

Nuclear energy usually means the part of the energy of an atomic nucleus, which can be released by fusion or fission or radioactive decay.

Nuclear particles like protons and neutrons are not destroyed in fission and fusion processes, but collections of them have less mass than if they were individually free, and this mass difference is liberated as heat and radiation in nuclear reactions ( the heat and radiation have the missing mass, but it often escapes from the system, where it is not measured ).

Nuclear fusion powers a star for most of its life.

** Nuclear: A runaway nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reaction causes immense energy release.

Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown ( fission ) as well as the fusion of atomic nuclei and / or the application of other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics.

Nuclear fusion type atomic bombs release energy through the fusion of the light atomic nuclei of deuterium and tritium.

Nuclear fusion bombs can have arbitrarily high yields making them hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than nuclear fission bombs.

* powerful superconducting electromagnets used in maglev trains, Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI ) and Nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) machines, magnetic confinement fusion reactors ( e. g. tokamaks ), and the beam-steering and focusing magnets used in particle accelerators

Nuclear fusion was initially pursued only in theoretical stages during World War II, when scientists on the Manhattan Project ( led by Edward Teller ) investigated it as a method to build a bomb.

Nuclear fusion bonds together lighter atoms to form heavier atoms.

* Nuclear reaction, a process in which nuclei or nuclear particles interact, resulting in products different from the initial ones ; see also nuclear fission and nuclear fusion

: Nuclear fusion, the combining of the heavy isotopes of hydrogen, also has the potential to produce large quantities of neutrons.

Nuclear reactors generally have automatic and manual systems to shut the fission reaction down if unsafe conditions are detected.

* Nuclear fission reactors produce heat through a controlled nuclear chain reaction in a critical mass of fissile material.

Nuclear reactors have been launched into Earth orbit at least 34 times.

Nuclear reactors producing steam are used to propel warships and icebreakers, and there have been attempts to utilize them to power commercial vessels.

As vice president and general manager of GE's Nuclear Products Division in San Jose, California, he was responsible for the manufacture of nuclear fuel, reactor internal equipment, and control and instrumentation for GE boiling-water reactors at facilities located in San Jose and Wilmington, North Carolina.

North Korea was a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but withdrew in 2003, citing the failure of the United States to fulfill its end of the Agreed Framework, a 1994 agreement between the states to limit North Korea's nuclear ambitions, begin normalization of relations, and help North Korea supply some energy needs through nuclear reactors.

North Korea has had two operating reactors, both located at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.

The first of these two partially constructed reactors was also in the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.

Salem 1 and Salem 2 are pressurized water reactors at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant and Hope Creek is a boiling water reactor at the Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

Satsop is known for the unfinished Satsop Nuclear Power Plant, a facility designed to house two 1250 megawatt pressurized water reactors.

The US Army Nuclear Power Program operated pressurized water reactors from 1954 to 1974.
