YOUR QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Beispiel für eine Fusionsreaktion: Deuterium und Tritium verschmelzen zu einem Heliumkern unter Freisetzung eines Neutrons. Diese Reaktion wird als Quelle für schnelle Neutronen genutzt; die Energie beider Reaktionsprodukte kann zur Energiegewinnung in einem Kernfusionsreaktor dienen. Diese Fusionsreaktion findet außerdem in Wasserstoffbomben statt.
