【 摘 要 】

A catalytic regime of tritium and helium-3 in deuterium–deuterium fusion, including ion–electron collisions, mechanical expansion, bremsstrahlung radiation, inverse Compton scattering losses and reacting particles energy effect has been investigated. In this paper a new fuel configuration, DT𝑥 3He𝑦, is formed by adding 3He to DT fuel. According to our calculations this fuel (DT𝑥=0.0112 3He𝑦=0.0399) has greater energy gain than the fuel (DT𝑥=0.0112) used by Eliezer et al [Eliezer et al, Nucl. Fusion 40, 195 (2000)] and also it does not require external tritium and helium-3 breeding. Furthermore, neutron yields in D–D and D–T reactions are reduced due to the reduced quantity of initial amount of deuterium and tritium.
