Fusion
In order for nuclear fusion to happen huge amounts of energy are required. Atomic nuclei are forced to fuse together unlike nuclear fission where the nuclei are split apart.The energy needed is much greater to form a in a fusion reaction but the energy produced is 4 times as much as the energy produced in a fission reaction.
The current designs for a Nuclear Fusion Reactor can be compared to a magnetic bottle. Through a contraption of extremely powerful magnets positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons are contained within the main magnetic core structure. Superheated plasma is also kept within this main structure and it follows the flow of the magnetic stream. Through a neutral-beam injection highly energised atoms collide with the plasma which they then ionise and increase the plasmas temperature. This is how the fusions temperature is regulated. This high temperature situation enables a fusion reaction to take place where tritium and deuterium gas particals are forced to collide under the magnetic pressure they then fuse to form a neutron and a helium particle not to mention they energy produced.
The minimal radioactive wastes produced by Fusion are nothing compared to Fission energy ,such as low-level mining products to high-level burnt out fuel rods in fission energy cycles. Because of this Fusion energy is a cleaner and more efficient way to produce energy when put next to Fission Energy.
