nuclear fusion

Nuclear fusion is a process where two types of atoms combine together to make a bigger atom, releasing a lot of energy in the process. It is the same process that powers the sun and stars. To help you understand this better, think of it like two pieces of Lego. When you join them together, it makes one big piece. That’s like nuclear fusion – two small atoms join together to form one bigger atom. The energy released in this process is huge. In fact, if we could control this energy, it would be enough to power a city for a million years! Fun Fact: Nuclear fusion is a clean energy source, meaning it doesn’t create any of the pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels.
