In addition to the well-known fusion nuclear reactions on which the ITER project is based, there is a type of nuclear reaction that formed the Earth's crust from interstellar matter. This type of nuclear reaction is low-temperature, as the physical conditions during the formation of the Earth's crust differed from those in the interiors of stars. The presented theory of such reactions has irrefutable experimental confirmation, although current misconceptions hold that such reactions are impossible. The theory of such reactions and additional irrefutable experimental evidence for their existence are presented. It is shown that such reactions could be used to generate energy, replacing the difficult-to-implement fusion reactions in the ITER project.
