Or maybe Deuterium and Bor-10? With higher Deuterium contents? So first D-D reacts to T + p and He-3 + n, providing initial boost for D + B-10 reactions? Possibly the energy for the neutrons is wasted, though.
How would the shielding requirements change with this hybrid reaction? Also, what would happen to projected size, purchase price, and maintenance requirements?
Yes, it seems to me that increasing the neutron yield is asking for problems.
