% deuterium and % tritium


Recommended Posts

When I google your question verbatim,

In boosted fission and fusion bombs what is the ratio of deuterium to tritium?

I get in the first two results the following:

1. Boosted fission weapon - Wikipedia

Quote

... fusion of one mole of tritium (3 grams) and one mole of deuterium (2 grams) ...

 

2. 4.3 Fission-Fusion Hybrid Weapons (nuclearweaponarchive.org)

Quote

The only fusion reaction achievable by simply heating the fuel with a fission bomb is the D-T reaction:

   D + T -> He-4 (3.5 MeV) + n (14.1 MeV)

 

Do they answer your question?
