Nuclear Fusion | Understand Energy Learning Hub

Form of Energy: Nuclear. Fusion reactions power the sun and the stars. Nuclear fusion occurs when nuclei from two or more atoms are forced together (overcoming the Coulomb barrier*) and fuse to form a single larger nucleus, releasing lots of energy (by E = mc 2 ), usually in the form of fast moving neutrons. The energy of the neutrons can then
