Nope. But as sort of an ironic twist, the core of the earth is composed of the most stable element produced in nuclear fusion reactions: iron. The center of the earth due to its composition would be the least likely place to find a nuclear fusion reactor. Any nuclear reaction with a stable isotope of iron is endothermic (vice exothermic which produces heat).
