In a fusion reaction, the energy comes from the process of combining light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases a large amount of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's famous equation Emc2.
The easiest fusion reaction to make is between deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen. This reaction requires the least amount of energy to initiate and is being pursued for fusion energy research.
The main reaction in the sun that produces energy is nuclear fusion. This process involves hydrogen atoms fusing together to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
In a fission reaction, energy is released when a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei and neutrons. In a fusion reaction, energy is released when light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. Both reactions release a large amount of energy due to the difference in binding energy between the initial and final nuclei.
Fusion occurs when two atomic nuclei collide. The reaction that is produce by the collision can be used to provide energy. Fusion is the reaction that powers most active stars in the universe.
One significant difficulty in using fusion as an energy source is the challenge of containing and controlling the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for the fusion reaction to occur.
From the nuclear fusion reaction in the sun
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
