In other words, it is a process by which nuclear reactions between light

elements form heavier elements (up to iron). In cases where the
interacting nuclei belong to elements with low atomic numbers (e.g.,
hydrogen [atomic number 1] or its isotopes deuterium and tritium),
substantial amounts of energy are released.

This is the vast energy potential of nuclear fusion was first exploited in
thermonuclear weapons, or hydrogen bombs, which were developed in
the decade immediately following World War II.
As I said earlier Read slide 3
In this process, the combined nucleus typically has a slightly lower mass
than the sum of the masses of the original nuclei. This "missing" mass is
converted into energy, as described by Einstein's famous equation
E=mc^2. The resulting heavier nucleus can be more stable than the
original nuclei because the binding energy per nucleon (the energy
required to remove a nucleon from the nucleus) is higher for the
resulting nucleus. This increase in binding energy per nucleon can lead
to a more stable nucleus overall.

After the solving slides
Is nuclear fusion stable or unstable?
Despite all that Nuclear fusion is not really about stability). Any non-
radioactive isotope (eg deuterium) is 100% stable. There are many
unstable isotopes/nuclides near Fe-56. Fusion is more about the
average binding energy per nucleon.
Fission vs fusion
After first two:
nuclear fission doesn’t normally happen naturally because All nuclear
power plants use fission to power up the place
After reading the third: fission requires less power to split the nucleus
because of how unstable it is while as for fusion,. As stated earlier, it
requires very high temperatures for it to occur.

Nuclear fission

Or a neutron collides with a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large
amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. More neutrons are
also released when a uranium atom splits. These neutrons continue to
collide with other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself
repeatedly.

When each atom splits, a tremendous amount of energy is released.

Uranium and plutonium are most commonly used for fission reactions
in nuclear power reactors because they are easy to initiate and control.
