Thermonuclear fusion is the process of nuclei joining together with the release of energy. This is the process which powers the stars, including our sun, and also the H-Bomb. Scientists hope to be able to make this work in a controlled way to produce energy which could then produce electric power. The most likely process for controlled use is between nuclei of deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen.
