(also Nuclear fusion) - A nuclear process in which the nuclei of two light, non-radioactive elements (such as isotopes of hydrogen) are forced together at ultra-high temperatures and pressures to form the nucleus of a slightly heavier element (such as helium) with the release of substantial amount of energy. The sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion.
