Termonukleär
Termonukleär, or thermonuclear in English, is a term used to describe processes and technologies based on nuclear fusion that occurs at extremely high temperatures. Fusion combines light atomic nuclei, typically hydrogen isotopes, into heavier elements and releases energy. The term is commonly used to distinguish fusion-based energy or weapons from fission-based ones.
Fusion requires overcoming the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged nuclei, which in practice means temperatures of
Thermonuclear energy can refer to civilian fusion power research and potential electricity generation. In popular usage,
Other contexts include safety, nonproliferation efforts, and scientific research into fusion energy, plasma physics, and high-energy
