Noun

nuclear fusion - a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy

nuclear fusion reaction, fusion

cold fusion - nuclear fusion at or near room temperatures; claims to have discovered it are generally considered to have been mistaken

nuclear reaction - (physics) a process that alters the energy or structure or composition of atomic nuclei

thermonuclear reaction - a nuclear fusion reaction taking place at very high temperatures (as in the sun)
