Nuclear fission is the process by which two atomic nuclei combine to form one heavier atomic nucleus, giving off tremendous energy as a by-product. Thermonuclear fusion reactions require very high temperatures to initiate and some system of fuel containment to sustain. Nuclear fusion offers great promise as a source of
electric power, because safe fuel is available in large quantities and the process does not create the
radioactive wastes that plague nuclear fission.
