Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together. The nuclear energy harnessed ...
A clear comparison of nuclear fission and fusion, explaining how each process releases energy and why scientists are studying their potential for power generation.
UMass Lowell: Nuclear Roadmap Panel on Fission and Fusion Radiation Safety 12/3
Re “Should California financially contribute to the nuclear fusion industry?” (Nov. 7): The correct answer is no. Instead, encourage nuclear fission power. The reason is that fission power exists. All ...
Materials scientists at Stony Brook University in New York are developing increasingly resilient nuclear reactors designed to conduct fission and fusion reactions even under severe radiation and high ...
The Nuclear Technology Review 2025 covers the following select areas: nuclear power, nuclear fuel cycle, decommissioning, environmental remediation and radioactive waste management, fusion research and technology development for future energy production, research reactors, particle accelerators and nuclear instrumentation, atomic and nuclear data, application of artificial intelligence in ...

The Seattle Times: What is nuclear fusion — and can it power WA’s data centers?
What is nuclear fusion — and can it power WA’s data centers?
Yahoo: Is nuclear fusion for real this time? These utilities think so.
Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have designed a new system that, when fully developed, would use fusion to eliminate most of the transuranic waste produced by nuclear power plants. The ...
