No, there are no recorded situations in which sustainednuclear fusion has been accomplished here on earth. In nuclear weapons, fusion is accomplished only for a split second. And the fusion experiments we're developing are yet incomplete.

∙ 15y agoYes. Six countries have detonated test Thermonuclear fusion bombs. Yes, but only for a fraction of 1 second! In the JET (Joint European Torus), which I think is the best achieved so far. ITER should advance this somewhat, but it won't be up and running for some years yet.

Examples: The hydrogen bomb and the creation of new elements.

Natural fusion can occur in places like the sun because of extremely temperatures that do not occur on Earth?
hot
Where does plasma occur on the earth?
where plasma occur on the earth
Which atomic number is the threshold value below which fusion may occur?
66
Where does fusion take place in the sun?
Around the core of helium that been formed from hydrogen fusion.
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the suns core is high enough for nuclear to occur?
fusion
Why does nuclear fusion not occur on earth?
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth
Natural fusion can occur in places like the sun because of extremely temperatures that do not occur on Earth?
hot
Does size help nuclear fusion occur?
Yes, but on earth we are limited in size
How many elements do not occur in nature on earth?
All elements between and including Neptunium (Np) up to the element Ununoctium (Uuo) are not remnants of fusion and do not occur naturally on earth.
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
How is it that radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and nuclear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?
That's because of where each of these processes occur. There is no nuclear fusion inside of Earth. There is probably a small amount of radioactive decay in the Sun, but the power produced by it is insignificant, compared to the huge amount of power produced by nuclear fusion.
Where does the fusion reacion occur on the sun?
Fusion occurs in the core of the Sun
Does hydrogen fusion occur in the corona?
No. Hydrogen fusion occurs in the star's core.
Where does the fusion reaction occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
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 nuclear fusion occur?
Nuclear fusion occurs at the core of the sun (and other stars) providing huge amount of energy to the rest of the solar system. It has also been achieved on Earth, though not in a controlled and sustained manner.
How does energy transformation occur?
hydrogen fusion
