A fusion reaction of the type given below
`._(1)^(2)D+._(1)^(2)D rarr ._(1)^(3)T+._(1)^(1)p+DeltaE`
is most promissing for the production of power. Here D and T stand for deuterium and tritium, respectively. Calculate the mass of deuterium required per day for a power output of `10^(9) W`. Assume the efficiency of the process to be `50%`.
Given : `" "m(._(1)^(2)D)=2.01458 am u," "m(._(1)^(3)T)=3.01605 am u`
`m(._(1)^(1) p)=1.00728 am u` and `1 am u=930 MeV`.
