Description
The possibility on neutron generation is considered for the D–D plasma. The advantage of D–D reaction is that no needs for external tritium source. 14 MeV neutrons can be produced due to burn of tritium produced in D–D reaction. Powerful neutral beam injection can be used to increase the reaction rate. Plasma power gain Q $\sim$ 1 can be achieved at electron temperature of about 100 keV and deuteron injection energy of about 2 MeV. To realize such a scheme plasma pressure should be approximately equal to the magnetic pressure for this type of fusion fuel. So, it can be potentially realized in the mirror-based system.
