It is proposed to use the nuclear fusion reaction,
`._1^2H+_1^2Hrarr_2^4He`
in a nuclear reactor `200 MW` rating. If the energy from the above reaction is used with a `25` per cent efficiency in the reactor, how many grams of deuterium fuel will be needed per day?(The masses of `._1^2H` and `._2^4He` are `2.0141` atomic mass units and `4.0026` atomic mass units respectively.)
