DT and Fusion - Deuterium and Tritium atoms are heavy forms of the hydrogen atom that can be combined under high temperature conditions to produce helium and release energy. Fusion is the source of energy in the sun and in the hydrogen bomb. The fuel is abundant and inexpensive. Fusion produces much less undesirable radioactive waste than fission, the source of energy in today's nuclear power plants. The challenge for the future is to find an economical way to achieve the demanding conditions under which the fuel will burn.
