The correct description of nuclear fusion is:
**"starts when two atoms slam together to form one, heavier atom."**
Nuclear fusion is the process in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier nucleus, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process.
**"starts when two atoms slam together to form one, heavier atom."**
Nuclear fusion is the process in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier nucleus, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process.
