All current nuclear commercial power plants use the process of fission to produce electricity. what would be the greatest benefit of switching to the fusion process, when and if this becomes viable? a) fusion is not a radioactive process. b) fusion is much more easily controlled. c) fusion requires less money to develop. d) fusion does not create nearly as much radioactive waste.

Option D, Fusion does not create nearly as much radioactive waste.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion reactions are very environmental friendly. No waste product is released which could harm the environment.

Nuclear fission reaction do not release harmful gases or garbage but they do release radioactive waste. The nuclei formed as a part of nuclear fission reaction are unstable and hence keep on reacting thereby making the nuclear chamber unsafe.

While in nuclear fusion reaction , no such harmful radioactive waste is produced.

Thus, option D is correct.

the backbone of the dna and rna compound is sugar phosphate.
