Deuterium-Deuterium Fusion

2H + 2H → 3He + 1n

개요

Two deuterium nuclei fuse to produce helium-3 and a neutron, releasing 3.27 MeV. An alternative D-D reaction produces tritium and a proton. D-D fusion requires higher temperatures than D-T fusion (about 400 million K) but uses only deuterium, which is abundant in seawater.
