Examples
In principle, the Helium-3-Deuterium reaction or an aneutronic fusion reaction could be used to maximize the energy in charged particles and to minimize radiation, but it is highly questionable whether it is technically feasible to use these reactions.
In practice, D-D side reactions produce a significant number of neutrons, resulting in p- 11 B being the preferred cycle for aneutronic fusion.
It is also more attractive for "advanced fuels" (see aneutronic fusion ).
The appeal of helium-3 fusion stems from the aneutronic nature of its reaction products.
