The Tritium Challenge

Fusion’s greatest challenge is not only plasma physics. It is also fuel. Most current fusion concepts rely on the deuterium–tritium (D-T) reaction. The reason is straightforward: among all fusion reactions, D-T has by far the highest cross-section, making it the most technically accessible pathway toward commercial fusion.
