Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion

Question 10 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Produces dangerous radioactive waste:

Answer
A
nuclear fission
B
nuclear fusion
C
both

Explanation

Nuclear fission splits heavy atomic nuclei, producing radioactive byproducts that can remain hazardous for a long time and require careful storage. Nuclear fusion generally produces much less long-lived radioactive waste, so “both” is not the best answer. The correct choice is nuclear fission.
