Is energy produced in the sun's core?

By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen, producing helium. The same process that produces the energy in a hydrogen bomb (although the sun fuses far more hydrogen in the same period of time than the largest hydrogen bomb ever speculated would fuse during its entire explosion, thus producing more energy than such a bomb).
