What up, Plasma?

Plasma donations centers hate this one simple trick!

Nuclear Fusion is very different from Nuclear Fission. Fission is what we use around the world and all of the hazards alongside with it. Fusion basically stops when the reactor stops.

I'm sure someone can explain it better

1. They’re probably lying.
2. They most likely consumed way more energy sustaining that reaction than they got out of it.

In the article:

Nuclear fusion reactors are nicknamed "artificial suns" because they generate energy in a similar way to the sun — by fusing two light atoms into a single heavy atom via heat and pressure. The sun has a lot more pressure than Earth's reactors, so scientists compensate by using temperatures that are many times hotter than the sun.

This way we get not kilotons, but megatons.

Creating a nuclear fusion power source will be the next watershed moment in terms of technology advancement, a lot of research has been stifled by the lack of power. Nuclear Fusion would be unlimited "clean" power.
