By fusing hydrogen or hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) into helium. The result requires less residual binding energy1 than the original components due to the mass deficit curve. The excess residual binding energy is released, mostly in the form of heat and other energetic particles.

1Binding energy holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. Residual binding energy, also know as nuclear force, holds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus.
What else can I help you with?
When nuclear fussion occurs some mass is lost where does it go?
The mass that is lost during nuclear fusion is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. This released energy is what powers the sun and other stars.
What type of energy is released by a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear reactions release nuclear energy, which is the energy that holds the nucleus of an atom together. This energy is released in the form of heat and radiation during processes such as fission or fusion.
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.
What is the potential or kinetic energy involved in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy involves potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom, which is released as kinetic energy when atoms split or fuse in a nuclear reaction.
The source of the sun's energy is?
Nuclear fussion
What is the release of matter and energy from nuclear decay?
Fussion
How are nuclear fission and fussion the same?
Both release excess nuclear binding energy.
Which kind of nuclear reactions is the source of the sun's energy?
Nuclear fussion of Hydrogen to give helium, positron and energy
When nuclear fussion occurs some mass is lost where does it go?
The mass that is lost during nuclear fusion is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. This released energy is what powers the sun and other stars.
Which reaction used for nuclear power plant. fission or fussion?
Nuclear fission. Larger atoms are broken into smaller parts and energy is released. Nuclear fusion is where lighter atoms are fused together - as happens in the sun. This also produce energy, though much more.
What process does nuclear energy go through?
If you're referring to nuclear energy in power generating plants, it is nuclear fission. If you're referring to the nuclear energy in our Sun, it is nuclear fusion.
What two names are given the sun's energy?
Solar energy and sunlight are the two names given to the sun's energy.
Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
Where can nuclear fussion be found?
The cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.
Are the products of nuclear fussion radioactive?
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
Is a nuclear fission a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
