The main fuels used in nuclear fusion devises are deuterium and tritium, both heavy isotopes of hydrogen. The Deuterium (D) – Tritium (T) reaction has the largest cross section (in other words, the ...

JET (Joint European Torus) will be testing the deuterium-tritium ... to kickstart the fusion process, as is the case in stars. A 2016 drawing of the different sections of the ITER fusion reactor ...

Plans call for first-generation fusion reactors to use a mixture of deuterium and tritium — heavy types of hydrogen. In theory, with just a few grams of these reactants, it is possible to produce a ...

The proposed strategy continues to use deuterium and tritium ... “By amplifying the fusion cross section, more power can be produced from the same amount of fuel,” Parisi noted.

Nuclear fusion has high potential as an abundant ... Most tokamaks are configured with "positive triangularity," where the ...
