The above statement is False.
Nuclear fission is a process in which a heavy nucleus breaks into lighter nuclei along with the release of energy. When bombarded by low-energy neutrons. Heavy nuclei like uranium, platinum and thorium only can undergo nuclear fission. Reactors in the power plant use the nuclear fission reaction.
Nuclear fusion is a process in which two light nuclei fuse to form a single nucleus along with the release of energy. For example, lighter nuclei of hydrogen can undergo nuclear fusion. A nuclear fusion reaction is responsible for every production. In stars and the sun, in the hydrogen bomb, nuclear fusion takes place with the release of enormous energy.
The correct statement is that nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are not the same.
