Fusion reactions are not limitless. The fusion process can exhaust the supply of fuel and cause fusion to stop. Additionally, there are fusion processes that are not exothermic, but are endothermic and require energy to be put in to sustain them. Without the requisite input energy, fusion ceases.

What type of nuclear reaction can produce a limitless source of energy?
You probably mean nuclear fusion, using heavy water found in the oceans. This would not be absolutely limitless, ie not strictly renewable, but as far as human existence goes it would be virtually limitless
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
An energy source that has limitless supply?
The sun most evidently. The world's oceans contain an almost limitless amount of deuterium (heavy water) which could one day be used for energy from nuclear fusion, when scientists and engineers have learned how to do it.
How to make a model of fusion reaction?
There is a nice illustration of solar fusion at the link given below
What process occurs in a controlled fusion reaction?
In a controlled fusion reaction, a process of nuclear fusion occurs, but it is controlled, so that it does not grow uncontrollably, to become, for example, a thermonuclear bomb. Note: This has not been accomplished yet.
What type of nuclear reaction can produce a limitless source of energy?
You probably mean nuclear fusion, using heavy water found in the oceans. This would not be absolutely limitless, ie not strictly renewable, but as far as human existence goes it would be virtually limitless
Which type of nuclear reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy?
A nuclear fusion reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy. This occurs when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This releases a large amount of energy.
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion
What happens when a fusion reaction is uncontrolled?
fusion bomb explosion
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
What is true about the balance of mass in a fusion reaction?
In a fusion reaction the mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactants.
What chemical reaction fuels the sun?
Fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that fuels your solar system.
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
Describe what takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?
In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
