Video #2, Question #3

Scientists have been able to develop a nuclear fusion plant to generate energy.

True
False

Answer 1

Question 1: The process that occurs when one nucleus splits to form two smaller nuclei is:

a) fission

Question 5: Scientists have been able to develop a nuclear fusion plant to generate energy.

The answer is False. While nuclear fusion is a process that has been developed in experimental settings, as of now, there is no operational nuclear fusion power plant providing energy to the grid.
