Can fusion reactors explode?


Open in App
Solution

Nuclear fusion:

  1. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to form one or more different atomic nuclei and sub-atomic particles.
  2. The process of fusion is used in fusion reactors or thermonuclear reactors to produce electricity because the process releases a lot of energy.
  3. Fusion reactors cannot explode because these reactions do not involve chain reactions that cannot be stopped.
