Fusion and Fission are quite different.
We (humans) have had no problem with fission ie Nuclear Bombs.
Its fusion that causes so many headaches.
If the Sun was using fission, it would have gone out a while back - like the moment it was born...
So why in this article does it say "self-sustaining fusion reaction like the ones in the sun or the explosion of a nuclear bomb" ?

Am I wrong or is is this article wrong?
(Probably me...)
