Description

The author states that it is possible if only the DT reaction is utilized in fusion reactors, the general public will not that see any significant difference between fission and fusion, and reject fusion research. There are many fusion fuel cycles, other than the DT reaction, which need little tritium in their operation. Advanced fusion reactions pose some additional physics problems which are discussed. 16 refs
