Deuterium–tritium fusion
text:
Deuterium–tritium fusion (DTF) is a type of nuclear fusion in which one deuterium (H) nucleus (deuteron) fuses with one tritium (H) nucleus (triton), giving one helium-4 nucleus, one free neutron, and 17.6 MeV of total energy coming from both the neutron and helium. It is the best known fusion reaction for fusion power and thermonuclear weapons. Tritium, one of the reactants for DTF, is radioactive. In fusion reactors, a 'breeding blanket' made of lithium is placed on the walls of the reactor,
