minus-squareOrganicMustard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoYeah, I found what they do here So they chose deuterium-helium 3 fusion where there is less neutron radiation. Still they need to breed helium 3 where a lot of energy is lost. Curious to see if they will reflect that in the energy production balance.

Helion, probably.
