TestHub · Accepted Answer

Nuclear fusion : In stars energy is produced by hydrogen into helium.
Fission in a nuclear reactor : In nuclear reactor fission of ${}_{92}^{235}U$ takes place by absorption of thermal neutrons. Heavy water is used as a moderator during this reaction.
${}_{27}^{60}{C o}$ emits $β$ particle to attain stable nucleus. It also emits $γ$ radians.
$γ$ -rays are emitted by ${}_{27}^{60}{C o}$ during fission of ${}_{92}^{235}U$ , conversion of hydrogen to helium and during decay of $U^{235}$ after absorption of neutron.
