deuterium-tritium reaction

The deuterium-tritium reaction is a nuclear fusion process where two isotopes of hydrogen—deuterium (with one proton and one neutron) and tritium (with one proton and two neutrons)—combine at very high temperatures. When they fuse, they form a helium nucleus (alpha particle) and release a large amount of energy as heat and radiation. This reaction powers the sun and is being studied for clean energy generation on Earth, as it offers a potential source of abundant, sustainable power with minimal radioactive waste.
