As human population increases, the need for generating renewable energy has also increased. In order to meet the energy requirements of the future, scientists have been trying to perfect Nuclear Fusion, if perfected nuclear fusion has the potential to fulfill most of our energy needs. Nuclear fusion is the process of generating energy by joining two nuclei of atoms that result in a larger nuclei. Nuclear fusion is the same reaction which generates energy on stars including our own Sun. The Sun has extreme temperature and pressure at its core which allows nuclear fusion to take place.[1] While there is a constant nuclear fusion reaction taking place on the Sun, replicating the same process here on earth is quite an expensive and difficult task.
An important factor that is used to express the efficiency of nuclear reactions is called the Lawson Break Even Condition[2]. Nuclear fusion among atoms can take place in three different types of fusion reactions, which are Proton-Proton Chain, Deuterium-Deuterium, and Deuterium-tritium reactions. There are two feasible methods of nuclear reaction, Magnetic confinement and second called the inertial confinement method.
