Nuclear fusion is when two nuclei join together and another different nucleus results. For example deuterium plus tritium (both hydrogen isotopes) fuse to give helium. The D nucleus is one proton and one neutron, the T nucleus is one proton and two neutrons. When they join the result is the He nucleus which has two protons and two neutrons, and so there is also a spare neutron ejected.
Fission occurs with large nuclei like U-235 and Pu-239, the nucleus just splits apart forming the nuclei of two lighter elements (the total number of protons has to equate before and after), and also releasing spare neutrons. One or more of these spare neutrons can then be captured by another U-235 or Pu-239 nucleus, so that a chain reaction can proceed.

I currently use nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
The two processes that produce nuclear changes are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion involves combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller ones. Both processes release a large amount of energy.
Nuclear processes that can release large amounts of energy.
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.

Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Nuclear fusion
The antonym of nuclear fusion is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.

The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
Nuclear processes that can release large amounts of energy.
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
