| Nuclear particles like ]s and ]s are not destroyed in ] and ] processes, but collections of them have less mass than if they were individually free, and this mass difference is liberated as heat and radiation in nuclear reactions (the heat and radiation have the missing mass, but it often escapes from the system, where it is not measured). The energy from the ] is an example of this form of energy conversion. In the Sun, the process of hydrogen fusion converts about 4 million tonnes of solar matter per second into ], which is radiated into space. Some people say that nuclear energy is very dangerous. | |||
