But it’s a theoretical point that has huge implications for the validity of the FF approach.
I think the very large downside of doing a DT run is that it would make FF-1 radioactive. That’s apart from the problems of handling tritium. (Is LPP even licensed to handle a radioactive substance like tritium?)
