No worries. :)

this is what i have so far what else should i add ?

Fusion takes light weight nuclei and combines the together and fission splits apart heavier nuclei. Nuclear fission is Fission is the splitting of a large atom into two or more smaller ones. Nuclear Fusion is the fusing of two or more lighter atoms into a larger one. Nuclear fusion is the reaction in which two or more nuclei combine together to form a new element with higher atomic number (more protons in the nucleus).
