Nuclear fusion is the process where two atomic nuclei come together to form a new species of atom. This process requires a high amount of energy and only occurs under extreme conditions such as in the core of a star. Nuclear fission, on the other hand, is the process where an atom is split into two or more smaller atoms, and generally occurs in nuclear reactors or during nuclear explosions. Nuclear splitting and recombination are not accurate or commonly used terms in nuclear science.
