Nuclear fission involves splitting heavy atomic nuclei (like uranium) to release energy, while nuclear fusion combines light nuclei (like hydrogen isotopes) to form heavier nuclei, also releasing energy. Fusion has the potential to produce more energy with less radioactive waste, but it is currently not commercially viable. Research is ongoing to make fusion a practical energy source.
