Summary If you think nuclear fusion only occurs in extreme conditions such as hydrogen bombs or the cores of stars let Henry set you straight. As long ago as 1956 scientists performed nuclear fusion at room temperature using muons to bring atomic nuclei closer together so they fuse naturally. Unfortunatly, with current technology it takes more energy to create a muon than is generated in the fusion processes it catalyzes. So muon nuclear reactors are still a distant dream.
