The noun FUSION has 7 senses: 1. an occurrence that involves the production of a union. 2. a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy. 3. the state of being combined into one body. 4. the merging of adjacent sounds or syllables or words.
Nuclear fusion is a reaction whereby two smaller nuclei are combined to form a larger nucleus. It results in the release of energy for reactions that form nuclei of mass number below 60, with the largest energy release occurring with the lightest nuclides. This stands in contrast to the process of nuclear fission in which a heavy nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy. Since light nuclei have smaller repulsion energies (the energy required to bring two like charges together), fusion is much more likely to occur among these nuclei.
