Question 1 Report

(a) Explain: (i) Fusion. (ii) Fission.

(b) State three advantages of fusion over fission in the generation of power

(c) Calculate in joules, the binding energy for

\(\frac{59}{27}\) Co

(Atomic mass of \(^{59}_{2} Co\) = 58.9332 u)

 (Mass of proton = 1.00783u)

(Mass of neutron = 1.00867 u)

(Unified atomic mass unit, U = 931 MeV)

(1 eV = 1.6 x 10\(^{-19}\) J)
