2. Nuclear fusion is the fusing together of smaller nuclei into a larger one with extra energy given off in the process. True or False

1. True
2. True
And I find myself in the interesting position of having first hand knowledge of these processes, what with having been a Reactor Operator on nuclear submarines for 20 years and a Nuclear Engineer since my retirement from the Navy!
