===Meaning===
'''Nuclear fusion''' is a process in which two small [[Atomic Nucleus|atomic nuclei]] join together to become a larger [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].

===About Nuclear Fusion===
: For a '''fusion''' [[Nuclear Reaction|reaction]] to occur the two [[Atomic Nucleus|nuclei]] must have enough [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy]] to overcome the [[Electrostatic Force|electrostatic force]] of repulsion between the [[Positive Charge|positively charged]] [[Atomic Nucleus|nuclei]].
: To provide enough [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy]] to the [[Atomic Nuclei|nuclei]] the [[substance]] must be [[heat]]ed to a [[temperature]] of several million [[Degrees Celsius|degrees Celsius]].
