Nitpick: You’re always going to get some parasitic D+D reactions because it’s reaction cross section is appreciably higher than D + 3He below 50 keV, and non-negligible even after the crossover point.
- skykooler 3y agoDoesn't D+D just yield 4He (and no neutrons) though?
- philipkglass 3y agoIt yields 3He plus a 2.45 MeV neutron at least part of the time. See the diagram here: https://undsci.berkeley.edu/teach-resources/products-of-deuterium-fusion/ https://undsci.berkeley.edu/teach-resources/products-of-deut...
