On the specification
| Board | Spec | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| AQA GCSE 8463 | 4.4.4.2 | Nuclear fusion |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 6.43P | Describe nuclear fusion as the creation of larger nuclei resulting in a loss of mass from smaller nuclei, accompanied by a release of energy, and recognise fusion as the energy source for stars |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 6.44P | Explain the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 6.45P | Explain why nuclear fusion does not happen at low temperatures and pressures, due to electrostatic repulsion of protons |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 6.46P | Relate the conditions for fusion to the difficulty of making a practical and economic form of power station |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P6.2e | Describe the process of nuclear fusion |
