WHAT IS NUCLEAR FUSION PROCESS?

Nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is the process that powers the stars and  Sun. Few radioactive particles are produced by fusion reaction, but if a fission "trigger" is used, radioactive particles will result from that. High density, high temperature environment is required.The energy released by fusion is three to four times greater than the energy released by fission.
