Answer 1

The two false statements about nuclear fusion are:

1. The fuel for nuclear fusion is often uranium. (Nuclear fusion typically uses isotopes of hydrogen, such as deuterium and tritium, rather than uranium, which is used in nuclear fission.)

2. Nuclear fusion is used to generate electricity at nuclear power plants. (Nuclear power plants primarily use nuclear fission, not fusion, to generate electricity.)
