In the early 1990s, fusion involving hydrogen dissolved in
palladium at room temperature, or cold fusion, was proposed as a
new source of energy. This process relies on the diffusion of H2
into palladium. The diffusion of hydrogen gas through a
0.005-cm-thick piece of palladium foil with a cross section of
0.780 cm2 is measured. On one side of the foil, a volume of gas
maintained at 298 K and 1 atm is applied, while a vacuum is applied
to...

Explain (in detail) Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion, why is
one radioactive vs the other?What is the nuclear process in a
reactor (Fission, or fusion), and what kind of decays is it going
through (alpha, beta, or gamma)?What is Critical Mass in nuclear
physics?
