HYPOTHESIS: The efficiency of fusion energy could be used to prevent global warming. The production of low cost electricity can be achieved by advancing the technology of fusing two different isotopic nuclei to fusing like-isotopic nuclei in the nearest future. How can fusion energy be commercialized?
3
fusion energy is a zero-emission type of energy meaning no CO2 emission. This could help in the gradual reduction of the available CO2 in the atmosphere More electricity can be produced by simply fusing a particular isotope with itself. An isotope of hydrogen; Deuterium could be the only material being used for the fusion process instead of using Deuterium and Tritium as materials In other to commercialize fusion energy water is needed because deuterium is found in water and water is abundant on earth surface
4
To make use of a mono-isotopic nuclei egs: deuterium as a major material of fusion energy. That is using D-D fusion to produce energy (electricity)

11
Neutron energy used to power reactor It causes radioactive elements when fused to the blanket of the reactor Boron might be an option
13
The reaction rate is almost 100 times lower than that of a D-T reaction. It takes approximately 900secs to complete the reaction in the reactor
