It isn't. Stellar nucleosynthesis and DT are both fusion reactions.
It's the same type of nuclear reaction. Both stellar nucleosynthesis and DT are more energetic per reactant mass than typical fission reactions and several orders of magnitude more energetic per mass than any chemical reaction.
- pfdietz 5y agoThey are the same reactions, in the sense than humans and cows are the same animals because they are both mammals. They are not the same reactions, in the sense they have different reactants and go at much different rates. And for the purpose of this subject, they are different in the sense that "the sun uses fusion" does nothing to imply that "manmade fusion is interesting or practical".
