Where does fusion primarily occur?

In the sun, mostly. Humans don't built fusion reactors because we haven't yet figured out how to get more energy out of the process than we put into it.

Human nuclear power generation is fission-based.

Fusion also occurs in modern nuclear bombs, although this is an uncontrolled reaction and not one that can produce useful power.

Does nuclear fusion happen in the convection zone?

No, nuclear fusion does not occur in the convection zone of a star. Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star. The convection zone is a region of the star where heat is transported through the movement of gas, but fusion does not occur there.

No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star in which fusion as stopped.


Does hydrogen fusion occur in the corona?

Hydrogen fusion does not occur in the corona of the sun. Fusion reactions occur in the sun's core where conditions are hot and dense enough for hydrogen nuclei to combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. The corona is cooler and less dense than the core, so fusion cannot take place there.
