Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, _(1)^(2)H , known as deuteron and denoted by D , can be thought of as a candidate for fusion rector . The D-D reaction is _(1)^(2) H + _(1)^(2) H rarr _(2)^(1) He + n+ energy. In the core of fusion reactor, a gas of heavy hydrogen of _(1)^(2) H is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of _1^2H nuclei and electrons is known as plasma . The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place.
