The feasibility of using D-³He and D-D fusion fuels

A careful study of the conditions required to burn D-³He and D-D fuels in a fusion reactor, with realistic models for bremsstrahling and synchrotron radiation losses, shows that the low reactivity of D-³He and D-D fusion reactions severely restricts the choice of fuel mixtures that can be brought to...

Description
Summary:A careful study of the conditions required to burn D-³He and D-D fuels in a fusion reactor, with realistic models for bremsstrahling and synchrotron radiation losses, shows that the low reactivity of D-³He and D-D fusion reactions severely restricts the choice of fuel mixtures that can be brought to ignition and requires very low levels of impurities and alpha particle ash, with plasma temperature, density, beta and energy confinement time that are far beyond the capability of any known magnetic confinement system. The fuel mixtures of D-³He and D-D that can be brought to ignition produce large fluxes of neutrons and there are serious problems with fuel cycles and reserves.
