What is the difference between nuclear decay fission and fusion?

decay; alpha (helium nuclei), beta (electrons or positrons), or gamma (photons) are spontaneously ejected from unstable isotopesfission; very massive unstable isotopes split into two much lighter nuclei and a few neutrons are ejected, usually happens following capture of a neutron but in some isotopes can occur spontaneouslyfusion; very light nuclei merge forming heavier nuclei, can only occur at very high temperature and pressure
