Deuterium in a sentence as a noun

I suspect if you can achieve ignition with tritium, you can use the fusion flash to ignite deuterium in a two stage process.

You see, for safety and convenience, JT-60 does not use tritium, just deuterium, so the numbers are extrapolated from the D-D case to the D-T case.

Even then, building separate deuterium-tritium fusion reactors that produce He3 for He-He fusion reactors could be more financially sound idea.

If I recall correctly, doing actual fusion with one of these requires deuterium and tritium and produces a crapload of neutrons for which I really doubt he has adequate shielding.

[12][13] Some have reported that, "under certain extreme conditions", they observe excess heat effects by interaction of hydrogen or deuterium with palladium, nickel or platinum.

The biggest practical problem faced by any commercial-scale deuterium-tritium fusion plant is a lack of neutron-resistant materials.
