He-3 reactors

Helium-3 (He-3) reactors are a proposed form of nuclear fusion technology. Helium-3 is a rare isotope of helium that could be used as fuel for fusion reactions, potentially producing energy without the harmful radiation associated with traditional nuclear fission. The process involves combining He-3 with deuterium, another hydrogen isotope, to release energy, mainly in the form of charged particles. This energy could lead to cleaner, safer electricity generation, minimizing radioactive waste. However, challenges such as acquiring sufficient He-3 and achieving stable fusion conditions remain significant hurdles to its practical implementation.
