It’s very neat that LPP has exceeded D-T fusion requirements but D-T is not a good fuel for a Focus Fusion generator.

Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) is a neutronic reaction with a radioactive fuel component. The cost of gearing up the LPP lab to handle tritium would be considerable and the Focus Fusion setup in general isn’t good for the kind of neutron flux or the resulting thermal load that D-T produces.

And thus Eric has stated that LPP will not be doing any D-T testing.
