Editing Nuclear fusion

{{SeeWikipedia}}
'''Nuclear fusion''' is a process where multiple atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. This is usually accompanied by the release or absorption of large quantities of energy. The process powers active stars, [[Nuclear weapon|hydrogen bombs]] and fusion power plants used for electricity generation.

Aside employing traditional [[Nuclear fission|fission]]-based nuclear power, [[human]]ity has mastered nuclear fusion as a viable source of energy. Among other uses, it is used in the primary [[deuterium]]-based [[Deuterium fusion core|reactors]] onboard starships,<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]", ''page 445''</ref> [[hydrogen]]-based [[UNSC Reactor|reactors]] used to provide power for [[Firebase|prefabricated base units]],<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/firebase.aspx '''Halowars.com''': ''Firebase'']</ref> as well as smaller, portable [[fusion core]]s used to power equipment.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12345 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 4/6/2007'']</ref>

-[[Covenant Empire|The Covenant]] use [[pinch fusion reactor]]s to power their starships and weapon emplacements. These reactors employ [[tritium]]-[[deuterium]] reactions and [[Wikipedia:Pinch (plasma physics)|pinched]] magnetic fields that compress and heat the [[plasma]] produced by the reaction.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 193''</ref>
