APFIVE Energy Release in Fusion and Fission
When two nuclear reactions—one fusion and one fission—each release the same total amount of energy, what is the most accurate comparison of the primary form in which that energy is carried away?
A
Fission mainly delivers energy as kinetic energy of free neutrons
B
Fusion releases most energy as kinetic energy of charged nuclei; fission as kinetic energy of heavy fragments
C
Fusion and fission each primarily emit energy as neutrinos
D
Most energy in both processes is emitted as gamma radiation photons
