No, this is the fusion reaction which occurs in the sun and other stars. See the link below.

Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?

In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.

Is chernobyl fission or fusion?

The Chernobyl disaster involved a nuclear fission reaction. Fission is the process of splitting atoms to release energy, which is the fundamental reaction in nuclear power plants like the one at Chernobyl. Fusion, on the other hand, involves joining atoms together to release energy and is the process that powers the sun.


Is the sun a atomic bomb?

I question why this is in the "Japan in WW2" section, but regardless. No, the sun is obviously not a bomb. However, you probably meant to ask something like, does the sun behave similar to an atomic bomb. The answer is, kinda. Most a-bombs use fission, while some use small fission reactions to create a fusion reaction, and are thus similar to the fusion reaction which makes the sun what it is.


Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?

Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
