1 Fission vs. Fusion

2 How Does the Sun Provide Energy? What’s Happening?

3 Nuclear Fusion of Hydroge n Fuse means to add together

4 Nuclear Fusion Input = 2 hydrogen isotopes Output = 1 helium nucleus 1 neutron energy

5 Fusion of Hydrogen

6 Nuclear Fission Fission means to split apart Bombard the nucleus with a neutron Nucleus splits 2-3 neutrons released

7 Release of Energy from Fission

8 What happens to the 2-3 neutrons released in the fission process? Nuclear Chain Reaction! + A LOT of Energy

9 Uranium Fission

10 Review
