In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a process in which two or more lighter nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. The difference in mass is converted into energy. The fusion process can be carried out only at a extremely high temperature of the order of 10 raise to 7 Kelvin because, only at these very high temperatures the nuclei are able to overcome their mutual repulsion. Therefore before fusion, the lighter nuclei must have their temperature raised by several million degrees. The nuclear fusion reactions are known as thermo-nuclear reactions.
