What is preventing scientist from using nuclear fusion to provide power?

So far no one has created a sustainable controlled reaction that produces more power than goes into making it happen in the first place. Progress has been made, but there's a long way to go.

What scientist studies fission and fusion of atoms?
nuclear physicist
What is the name of the scientist that studies fission and fusion atoms?
Nuclear physicist.
Why scientist are interested in harnessing the power of nuclear fusion as an energy source?
Fusion reactions release tremendous energy
As technology improved scientist thought that energy to heat the sun was released from?
Nuclear fusion
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
What are the Application of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion has been used for nuclear transformation, which is the production of new materials by fusion, and for the type of specific type of transformation called nuclear synthesis, which is the production of materials not normally found in nature. It has been used in nuclear bombs, specifically fusion bombs or hydrogen bombs. There is hope that nuclear fusion can be used to provide power for generation of electricity, though this has not yet been achieved in a practical system. There is a link below to an article on nuclear fusion.
Why do scientists want to build a nuclear fusion reactor?
The expectation is that fusion reactors will provide large amounts of energy, and that they will be relatively environmentally-friendly.
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Combining two atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
