Welcome to The Energy Planet's nuclear quiz. We wish you good luck in picking the right answer out of the four given ones. Have Fun.

01: What is the difference between Fusion and Fission?
Fusion is the joining of atoms used only in atomic bombs and in the sun. It is a quick and uncontrollable release of energy. Fission is the splitting of atoms. This is the form of energy release used in power plants, and is much more controllable.
Fusion is used on earth, while fission is used on the sun.
There is no difference, they are the same word spelled differently.

02: Why is it important to have a heat exchanger?
A heat exchanger doubles the heat harvested from the reactor. Without the heat exchanger, only a half of the energy produced would be possible.
A heat exchanger is really not that important, it just makes the system easier to clean and maintain.
A heat exchanger is a safe-guard against polluting water with radioactive energy. By keeping the water that comes in contact with the reactor separate from the water that turns to steam and is released into the open air, the possibility for the escape of radiation is reduced.
A heat exchanger keeps two systems of water separate. This makes it easier to change the water in one system, and leave the other water. This is a new feature designed to avoid water wasting.
03: How is the sun "Powered"?
The sun is powered by fission. The huge gravitational pull in the center of the sun can push atoms of hydrogen together into new atoms. The combination of the hydrogen atoms produces huge amounts of energy. This is the same energy that was released during detonation of the H bombs.
The sun is "powered" by fusion. The huge gravitational pull in the center of the sun can push atoms of hydrogen together into new atoms. The combination of the hydrogen atoms produces huge amounts of energy. This is the same energy that was released during detonation of the H bombs.
The sun is simply a molten ball of planetary materials. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps everything hot. The heat of the molten materials releases immense amounts of energy.
The sun is fueled by the burning of other planets and stars that come too close. Usually, comets and meteors fuel the sun.
