For those of you who don't know what deutirium is, it is an isotope of hydrogen with one neutron (normal H has no neutrons due to its heavy stability-only one proton and one electron). With the additional neutron, the atom will be much stronger. Usually, the neutron's main purpose is to strengthen the Weak Fore(force that holds the nuclei apart dut to the repulsion of the protons within the nucleus). However, because there is only one proton, it is usually unnesseccary for stability. Therefore, with O2, it is also called "Heavy Water".

Maybe we should mention that in real life fusion reactors can't meltdown like fission ones but if you destroy whatever's keeping the reaction contained while it's still occurring (it'll stop if things get out of control) it'll vaporize anything in a large radius? {{unsigned|Tex}} | Maybe we should mention that in real life fusion reactors can't meltdown like fission ones but if you destroy whatever's keeping the reaction contained while it's still occurring (it'll stop if things get out of control) it'll vaporize anything in a large radius? {{unsigned|Tex}} | ||

Supermagnetic?!
I don't see the point in having a 'conventional physics' section in these articles if they're going to be based on Star Trek technobabble - current theory on magnetic fusion does not use supermagnets (assuming this terms refers to neodymium magnets). I think it would be far better to produce a concise summary and use references to point to articles on the current state of whatever technology is in question
- Agreed. But all of it would be speculation anyway since this piece of technology has been mentioned but not fully explained. --ED(talk)(shockfront) 22:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Deuterium-Tritium
Doesn't Deuterium-Tritium reactions produce a significantly greater amount of energy than the suggested Deuterium-Deuterium reaction? This is why I don't understand why the UNSC would use a deuterium-deuterium reaction rather than the other when the energy output is actually less that it can potentially be.
question
shouldn't this be combined with the article Fusion Core? --Lt. CommanderFile:CPT.pngCOMMWork 16:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Just saying..
For those of you who don't know what deutirium is, it is an isotope of hydrogen with one neutron (normal H has no neutrons due to its heavy stability-only one proton and one electron). With the additional neutron, the atom will be much stronger. Usually, the neutron's main purpose is to strengthen the Weak Fore(force that holds the nuclei apart dut to the repulsion of the protons within the nucleus). However, because there is only one proton, it is usually unnesseccary for stability. Therefore, with O2, it is also called "Heavy Water".

Trivia
Maybe we should mention that in real life fusion reactors can't meltdown like fission ones but if you destroy whatever's keeping the reaction contained while it's still occurring (it'll stop if things get out of control) it'll vaporize anything in a large radius? —This unsigned comment was made by Tex (talk • contribs).
