Abstract
The nuclear fusion energy release process is different than the nuclear fission energy release process discussed previously, although the basic process of conversion of mass to energy is the same. As discussed above, the nuclear fission energy release results from the neutron-induced fission of a heavy mass atomic nucleus (e.g., uranium) into a few intermediate mass atomic nuclei and a few basic nuclear particles (e.g., neutrons, protons, alpha particles), with a net reduction in total mass, which is converted to energy via ΔE = - Δmc 2 (c is the speed of light, Δm ≤ 0).
