7.26 explain why nuclear fusion does not happen at low temperatures and pressures, due to electrostatic repulsion of protons
For nuclear fusion to occur, very high temperatures are required to overcome the repulsive force between the positively charged nuclei of each isotope.
High pressures are also needed to increase the chance of fusion between the nuclei.
