Types of Nuclear:

Nuclear

Fusion

Fission

What is Nuclear Fusion?

The process by which multiple atoms having the same charge join together in order to from a heavier nucleus.

Examples of Nuclear Fusion:

What is Nuclear Fission?

The process by which heavy elements split to form lighter elements and giving off energy.

Examples of Nuclear Fission:

Example of  either fission or a combination of fission and fusion.

Source of Nuclear energy

The mass of the nucleus and energy generated during a nuclear reaction is due to conversion of mass into energy.

Pro and Con of Nuclear:

Pro ConCan provide a good base load of electricity because of it stable output.Has a clean source of energy with respect to greenhouse gas emissions which helps certain governments to meet their carbon emissions reduction targets.

The costs of building and commissioning a nuclear plant are very high.A proper waste management system needs to be incorporated as nuclear waste is harmful.

Is Brunei suitable in using this Nuclear energy?

No, because it  require large safety area, including an uninhabited zone with a 2km radius and a 5km low-density zone.
