There would be no fast neutrons from: D + D -> T + p

I don’t believe that there is anyway to force this to occur in favor of D + D -> ³He + n though even in a non-handwavium/unobtainium reactor.

And under the violent conditions of a fusion reaction, or even a fission reaction, how quickly does tritium decay? Why is it used as a neutron initiator to speed up atomic and fusion blasts?
