We already know hydrogen infrastructure isn’t very cost effective. So imagine radioactive hydrogen.
- pfdietz 4y agoThis is one reason (among many) to prefer Helion. It doesn't use DT, so it doesn't have the problem of closing a tritium cycle. It won't even have a lithium blanket. Tritium does get produced from DD reactions, but it can be just separated from D, stored in metal hydride beds, and allowed to decay to 3He.
