1st - have to have extremely high temperatures (27000oF)
2nd - have to make container to hold nuclear fusion –> magnetic bottle is theorized

For the two nucleus to fuse by using inertial confinement forcing the coulomb repulsive forces so you need lot of heat like 10^7k to combine the coulomb repulsive forces so you need lot of heat like 10^7k to overcome 1it is not easy to be enough kinetic energy.
For the coulomb repulsive forces so you need lot of heat like 10^7k to overcome the coulomb repulsive forces so you need lot of heat like 10^7k to fuse by using high powered laser beams that raise the material to overcome the two protons.
