Why are Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, among others, so bullish on developing nuclear fusion as a power source? Mark P. Newton, ...

Nuclear energy is produced by nuclear fission, when the nucleus of an atom splits apart into two smaller atoms and releases a boatload of energy. The energy released by the nuclear fission process ...

When this happens, they release around one million times more energy than a chemical reaction and three to four times more than a conventional nuclear fission reactor.

What sometimes trips people up is that although both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion pertain to energy obtained from interactions between atoms, only one of these is exceedingly easy to make ...

SINGAPORE: Singapore has plans to build a pool of about 100 nuclear energy experts in the medium to long run, said Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng on Wednesday (Apr 3).

Most operational nuclear plants are based on fission technology, which works by using neutrons to split uranium atoms in two, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
