In nuclear fusion, what is typically required to overcome the repulsion between nuclei?

In nuclear fusion, what is typically required to overcome the repulsion between nuclei?

Step 1: Understand that atomic nuclei are positively charged due to protons.
Step 2: Recognize that like charges repel each other, so two nuclei will push away from each other.
Step 3: Learn that to make the nuclei come close enough to fuse, we need to overcome this repulsion.
Step 4: Know that high temperature gives the nuclei enough energy to move fast and collide with each other.
Step 5: Understand that high pressure helps to force the nuclei closer together, increasing the chances of fusion.
