That's good to see you look up the PP reaction on the net. Learn as much as you can :-). The reason why so much hydrogen is converted into helium every second in the Sun's core, is that there are so many reactions going on...when you consider how much hydrogen there is in the core, it's no wonder!!!.

600 million tons of hydrogen are fused into helium every second, with 4 million tons converted into energy every second
