Fusion reactions are called __________(a) Thermonuclear(b) Thermoduric(c) Thermo Uric(d) Compound reactionsThe question was posed to me during an online exam.My question is from Nuclear Fission & Nuclear Fusion in portion Nuclear Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Correct option is (a) Thermonuclear

Easiest explanation: To eradicate repulsive forces temperature of positively charged nuclei is raised to millions of degree resulting in plasma. The plasma should be PREVENTED from CONTACTING the walls of the container confined for a period of time of the order of a second at a minimum density. FUSION reactions are called thermonuclear because of the higher temperature requirement to trigger and sustain the reaction.
