Explain two advantages and disadvantages of using energy created by nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
Read this chart here: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Nuclear_Fission_vs_Nuclear_Fusion The site appears to be reputable.
Advantages of fusion over fission In case of fusion reactions, fusion reactors cannot sustain a chain reaction so they can never melt down like fission reactors. Fusion reaction produces very less or, if the right atoms are chosen, no radioactive waste. In case of nuclear fission large radioactive waste is produced and disposal of radioactive waste is a complicated problem. For nuclear power, fusion is the better choice.

I have decided that I don't understand the question. Is it advantages of fission as opposed to fusion and vice versa OR it is advantages and disadvantages of fission and fusion produced energy over energy produced by more conventional means?
