The only place in the universe where nuclear fusion can occur on its own is in the interior of stars.

After closely observing nature, and adapting its laws to fulfill human requirements,

our advanced civilization has succeeded in creating nuclear fusion at will, on a small

scale. Unfortunately, the only useful application successfully developed so far with our

superior intellect is the construction of nuclear bombs and weapons.

What happens with fusion of heavier element?

When heavier elements undergo fusion, they release energy in the form of light and heat. This process can only occur in extreme conditions, such as the high temperatures and pressures found in stars or during a thermonuclear reaction. Fusion of heavier elements can lead to the formation of even heavier elements and can release a tremendous amount of energy.


What is the difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapons?

Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
