Nuclear Fusion

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei collide at a high enough energy to facilitate the fusing of their nuclei, consequently releasing a large amount of energy. It is the process by which the sun and other stars produce energy. This is one of the most promising sources of energy because it is clean, efficient and generates no carbon dioxide emissions. It is a safe, renewable energy source capable of large-scale production. It is also attractive because it can produce less radioactive waste than traditional nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is actively being researched as an energy source in many parts of the world, and its potential implications are immense.
