Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options are correct. Nuclear fusion is a process that occurs when two isotopes of an element are forced together releasing large amounts of energy. The most common isotopes used for nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium. However, achieving fusion requires extremely high temperatures and pressures, making it difficult to produce commercially viable fusion reactors. Unlike nuclear fission, nuclear fusion does not require bomb-grade materials.
