What do small nuclei do ?
They can react to release energy in a process called nuclear fusion
What is nuclear fusion ?
It is when 2 light nuclei join to form a heavier nucleus
What does this process require ?
It requires extremely high temperatures to maintain
Where does the energy produced during fusion come from ?
It comes from a very small amount of the particle0s mass being converted into energy
Equation
Energy (J) = mass (kg) x speed of light2
