The fusion reaction is almost _ times stronger than the fission reaction.
Correct answer: D. Thousand times
- A. Two times
- B. Ten times
- C. Hundred times
- D. Thousand times
Explanation
Fusion reactions are typically thousands of times stronger than fission reactions. Fission reactions typically release energy on the order of millions of electron volts (MeV), while fusion reactions can release energy on the order of billions of electron volts (GeV). The exact ratio depends on the specific isotopes involved and the conditions under which the reactions occur.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
