Is It Possible To Convert Solar Energy Into Radio Active Energy?
In a way solar energy (as in the energy released by the sun) is a type of radioactive enery, in the sense that it comes from the fusion of two hydrogen atoms to produce helium atoms and releases a neutron. Most people think of radioactive energy in the process of nuclear fission, where a smaller particle is used to split a large and unstable particle (such as uranium) into smaller particles. Both forms of radioactive energy produce radioactive particles and energy, but fusion produces more energy and less radioactive substances in the process. However, nuclear fusion reactions are harder to confine, and scientists are still working on the problem. You can convert solar energy into radioactive energy, but it makes little sense because in the process of conversion you lose energy. You can conceivably use the energy collected in solar panels to power a nuclear powerplant, but otherwise converting solar energy to radioactive energy involves the conversion to electric energy, and you would
