The combining of two nuclei to form a single nucleus, this releases energy

Real World Example

Imagine trying to merge two different groups of friends at a party to create one big, lively gathering. Just like the initial hesitation and then the eventual excitement when both groups start mingling and interacting, nuclear fusion involves the combining of two atomic nuclei to form a single, more stable nucleus. In this analogy, the separate groups are like the individual nuclei, their mingling represents nuclear fusion, and the burst of energy and excitement from a successful party is akin to the energy released during the fusion process.
