Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the term used to describe a situation that causes the union of two atoms of light nuclei. This union creates a fusion of these two light nuclei, generating a heavier nucleus. This union of light nuclei releases a large amount of energy and is common to happen in the nuclei of stars, such as the sun, for example.

Even with the strong release of energy, nuclear fusion is not used to generate electricity in nuclear plants, nor does it even need to use uranium as fuel.
