The process of combining of two lighter nuclei to give
a heavier nucleus is called nuclear fusion. Large amount of energy is required to
initiate the fusion reaction. Thus nuclear fusion is also called thermonuclear
reaction. Hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of nuclear fusion and it is
much more powerful than atom bomb. The Phenomenon of breaking a heavy nucleus
into two light nuclei of almost equal masses along with the release of huge
amount of energy is called nuclear fission. It was discovered by Otto Hahn and
Strassman in 1939.
