I sorry but i don’t follow. So you are saying that we assume that the T produced from DD fusions are typically not subsequently burnt, or that because you don’t detect DT neutrons, that we then make the assertion?

If the T produced from DD reactions are confined I would assume they would fuse quickly since the cross section is so much higher even at 150KeV. If this is not the case, why not?
