The major difference between nuclear fusion and fission are ; fusion is when two light nuclei under intense pressure and extreme temperature come together to form a single atom while fission is when a heavy atoms break into two unequal nuclei, fusion reaction releases more energy than fission.
Other difference are
fusion occur naturally while fission is does not. , fission needs little energy
to start while fusion need fission energy to start. Fusion output is about 3 to 4 times that of
fission while fission energy is million times that of chemical reaction,
fission require a critical mass and a high speed neutron(or proton or deuteron)
while fusion require intense heat and pressure.
