Heavy nuclides, greater than iron or nickel, have a negative mass-energy deficit, meaning that it takes more energy to fuse them than would be released by such fusion. That is why only light nuclides, such as hydrogen are realistic candidates for fusion.

What is nuclear enegry?

Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear reactions either by fusion or fission of atomic nuclei. In nuclear fission, atoms are split releasing a large amount of energy, while in nuclear fusion, atoms are combined to release energy. This energy can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
