Is it possible for fusion reaction to be happening at a planets core?
No. Fusion requires high concentrations of Hydrogen. Planets are made from substantially heavier elements. Additionally, a planet massive enough to begin a fusion reaction literally becomes a star.

What is the major problem with fusion reactions as an energy source?
Problem on nuclear fusion is upon confinement of reaction in earth atmosphere. Nuclear fusion required very high temperature to initiate the reaction. Sustaining reaction is not easy. It is likely the earliest nuclear fusion will be available commercially by 2050. It is a little far future for the current energy crisis would reach it peak around 2040.
Which fusion reaction could possibly result in fusion being a viable source of energy dt reaction dd reaction or protium reaction?
The first one to become successful in man made fusion will certainly be DT, but DD would be better if it could be made to work, as it would avoid the need to make tritium to feed as part of the fuel, and there are unlimited supplies of deuterium in the earth's waters. By "protium" I suppose you mean the proton-proton reaction as in the sun, this is impossible in man made fusion on earth, as it requires a huge volume and very high pressure as exists at the centre of the sun.
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.
How do the products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fusion reaction?
Fusion is a process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus, while fission during fusion a small fraction of the reactant mass is converted into energy. While not the only possible fusion reaction, the most commonly known is the fusion of hydrogen to create helium. The product is stable. In contrast, when fission of uranium or plutonium takes place, the resultant nuclei are neutron heavy and therefore will almost certainly be radioactive.
Could there be a fusion reaction in the earths core driving the heat and magnetic field?
No. A fusion event requires a much greater energy density than can exist at the Earth's core.
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion
What happens when a fusion reaction is uncontrolled?
fusion bomb explosion
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
