All protons are identical. Any proton with sufficiently high energy can cause a nuclear reaction.
Nuclear weapons use nuclear fission reactions, where heavy atomic nuclei, like Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239, split into lighter nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy release causes a chain reaction, leading to a powerful explosion.
This is an example of beta decay, specifically beta-minus decay. In this reaction, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, electron, and anti-neutrino. This results in the formation of 90Zr from 90Y.
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.
High energy radiation released from a nuclear reaction includes gamma rays and energetic neutrons. These types of radiation can be harmful to living organisms and pose significant risks to health if not properly contained or shielded.
When a neutron -> proton, it is called a Beta - (minus) decay.

Nickel and iron accumulate in the interior of large stars and do not release energy by any kind of nuclear reaction.

10,000,000 and up.
Nuclear fission
To release the energy of a fuel, you need to burn it in the presence of oxygen. This combustion process causes a chemical reaction that converts the potential energy stored in the fuel into heat and other forms of energy.
Stars obtain energy from a reaction called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion causes lighter elements to become heavier elements. The most common reaction fuses hydrogen into helium. But helium can fuse further, to even heavier elements. This releases energy until you reach the element iron. Anything heavier than iron consumes energy, rather than releasing it, when it is formed by nuclear fusion.thermonuclear fusion

Only those involved in nuclear reactions. Ordinary chemical reaction can not effect this change.
