Answer 1

	Nuclear Fission	Nuclear Fusion
i.	Reactions can take place at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure.	Extremely high pressure and temperature (≈ 107 K) are required for this reaction to occur.
ii.	Nearly 190 MeV of energy is emitted in a single fission process.	Nearly 24.7 MeV of energy is emitted in a single fusion process.
