Answer 1

The two false statements about nuclear fusion are:

1. The fuel for nuclear fusion is often uranium.
2. Nuclear fusion is used to generate electricity at nuclear power plants.

Nuclear fusion primarily involves lighter elements, such as hydrogen isotopes (like deuterium and tritium), while uranium is typically used in nuclear fission processes. Additionally, most nuclear power plants rely on fission rather than fusion for electricity generation.
