), meaning it only works when nucleons are practically touching.

The process of slamming light nuclei (like Hydrogen isotopes) together to form a heavier one (like Helium). This is the power source of stars, including our Sun. It produces far more energy than fission with less radioactive waste, though it is currently difficult to sustain on Earth. 5. Radioactivity and Decay Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter
