Ah yes, like how “fusion” somehow isn’t “nuclear”.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Well, "nuclear" has come to mean "fission," because that's how it's used in every nuclear energy system today. "Fusion" isn't something that exists in a meaningful way outside of science labs.

So I think that association is fair. If you mean "fusion," you should say "nuclear fusion."

[–] Uranium_Green@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you meaning because people are excited about "fusion" being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here "nuclear" their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?

Correct.
