It certainly can. It can also occur at lower or higher temperatures.
15 MK is roughly the core temperature of the Sun. At this temperature the PP chain is dominant, with the CNO cycle contributing roughly an order of magnitude less energy. At around 17 MK the two are roughly equal, and at higher temperatures the CNO cycle becomes dominant.
Much below 4 MK, you're not normally going to get significant fusion (there are "cold fusion" techniques that can happen at much lower temperatures, such as muon-catalysed fusion, but these aren't net producers of energy: it takes more energy to make the muons than you can get out of the resultant fusion reaction).

Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
No place, we have not yet determined how to make a fusion reactor. Only fusion bombs.
Does size help nuclear fusion occur?
Yes, but on earth we are limited in size
Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
What is nuclear fusion on the sun and where does it occur?
nuclear fusion is when 2 hydryon atoms combine or FUSE together. when this happens the neculous combine therefore causing nuclear fussion which releaces masses of heat and light enegry that radiates to earth
Does nuclear fusion occur in the sun's corona?
No, while it is hot enough the pressure is too low.
When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
No place, we have not yet determined how to make a fusion reactor. Only fusion bombs.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in any star?
in the djfafkjkvn
Where does most nuclear fusion occur in your solar system?
Sun
Where does nuclear fusion occur and why?
In the cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.
Why does nuclear fusion not occur on earth?
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth
Fusion reactions on the sun?
yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
It takes an extremely high temperature for nuclear to occur inside the sun?
Not nuclear, it takes an extremely hight temperature for Fusion to occur with in the sun or any other star. ADDED: Yes "nuclear". Fusion is one of the two type of nuclear reaction, the other being Fission.
Transmutation does not occur in which of these nuclear processes?
Transitions between various stages of electron excitement.
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
Does size help nuclear fusion occur?
Yes, but on earth we are limited in size
