It also doesn’t produce highly radioactive fission products. Microsoft is entering into a power purchase agreement with fusion startup Helion Energy, the companies announced Wednesday. This is the same process that powers the sun and creates huge amounts of energyseveral times greater than fission. Nuclear power plants are designed in such a way that they cannot form a supercritical mass of fissionable material and therefore cannot create a nuclear explosion. Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavier nucleoid splits into two or lighter nucleoids and releases a tremendous amount of energy that is the difference in the binding energy of nucleons in the daughter and the parent nucleoids. Fusion occurs when two atoms slam together to form a heavier atom, like when two hydrogen atoms fuse to form one helium atom.
