re: #236 LudwigVanQuixote

Yes it does, but what happens if you super heat it and it reacts with some of the deuterium? Where do thermal neutrons come from?

Tritium wouldn’t make a very good external neutron initiator if you didn’t get neutrons from somewhere…

In the case of this (likely) Fantasy Reactor though, only the deuterium will enter the lattice to be magically compressed into strong force range. If the water is superheated to the point where there are He-3 + D reactions just “happening” the room would probably have exploded by that time.
