In a nuclear fusion reactor, the reaction occurs in two stages (i) Two deuterium (""_(1)^(2)D) nuclei fuse to form a tritium (""_(1)^(3)T) nucleus with a proton as a byproduct. The reaction may be represented as D (D,p) T. (ii) A tritium nucleus fuseswith another deuterium nucleus to form a helium (""_(2)^(4)He) nucleus with a neutron as a byproduct. The reaction is represented as T(D.n)alpha. Given thatm(""_(1)^(2)d)=2.014104u (atom) m(""_(1)^(3)T)=3.01609u (atom) The energy released in the second stage of fusion reaction |
