The element is hydrogen. The easiest reaction to produce on earth (though still very difficult) is between deuterium and tritium. Deuterium is hydrogen with one proton and one neutron, tritium has one proton and two neutrons. Deuterium (heavy water) can be separated from ordinary water whilst tritium has to be made from lithium in a nuclear reactor, and it is radioactive with a half life of 12 years so it does not occur in nature.

How is Nuclear fusion and helium atoms related?
They are related because it is the element most often used in fusion in both the natural and synthesised fusions of the universe. Look up fusion in the sun for more information
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?
in nuclear fusion bombs
How is nuclear fusion used in the US?
Bombs.
How is Nuclear fusion used?
In test reactors.
What element is used in a nuclear fusion?
deuterium, and tritium
What element is used in nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen is turned into helium in stars.
What element is needed to make a nuclear weapon?
Uranium makes for an excellent element for nuclear fission. Hydrogen is most commonly used for nuclear fusion.
Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
Which term is used to indicate the process in which two small atomic nuclei emerge from a larger one?
nuclear fusion

How does a nuclear plant work?
A nuclear energy plant produces electricity by either nuclear fusion or fission. Fusion is the combining of two atoms of the same element (such as hydrogen) to produce a new element (helium). Fission is the process of breaking down a large unstable atom of one element into two different elements. Both fusion and fission produce enormous amounts of energy and heat. The heat produced is used to heat water into steam which is then used to rotate the blades of a turbine which produces electricity.
What do they use nuclear fusion for?
Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose at present, it is still in the experimental phase
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?
in nuclear fusion bombs
What energy would be used in a nuclear reaction in a star?
Nuclear fusion.
How is nuclear fusion used in the US?
Bombs.
