I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.

Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
The type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements is nuclear fusion. This process involves combining atomic nuclei to create new, heavier elements. In a controlled environment such as a nuclear reactor, scientists can create synthetic elements that do not occur naturally on Earth.
No, a nuclear chain reaction refers to a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions where the neutrons released in one reaction cause further fissions. Fusion, on the other hand, is the process of combining two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.

In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
No, they rely on fission. Controlled fusion is the holy grail of nuclear power.

In a controlled fusion reaction, a process of nuclear fusion occurs, but it is controlled, so that it does not grow uncontrollably, to become, for example, a thermonuclear bomb. Note: This has not been accomplished yet.
