| Fission process can be controlled manner and the energy released can be used for generation of electricity. | Fusion process is extremely difficult and cannot be controlled. |
| It is a chain process. |
It is not a chain process. |
| It leaves behind radioactive wastes. |
It does not leave any radioactive waste. |
