However, the ages derived presented a problem to astronomers: they were not consistent with estimates of the age of the Sun.

The amount of energy released by a fusion reaction is known as the Q value. Nuclear fusion explains the reaction between deuterium and tritium that produces a fusion (or hydrogen) bomb; fusion also explains the production of energy in the Sun, the process of nucleosynthesis, and the creation of the heavy elements.

Thus, if some method existed by which these massive nuclei could be “broken up” into iron-sized fragments energy would be released - this is nuclear fission.

Thermonuclear power is the name given to the use of controlled nuclear fusion as an energy source. While research in the area of thermonuclear power is progressing, high temperatures and containment difficulties remain. The cold fusion controversy centered around unsubstantiated claims of practical fusion power at room temperatures.
