"The total energy produced by the reactions induced by the collected deuterons is not enough to break the equilibrium of the EV. Assuming that other reactions take place inside the EV, starting from deuterons and leading to the most stable isotopes, that is starting from a binding energy of 2.2 MeV/nucleon to about 8 MeV/nucleon, the maximum resulting energy per nucleon is about 6 MeV, or 3 MeV/deuteron." 6 MeV per nucleon is not 3 MeV / deuteron, it's 12 MeV / deuteron, which leads to a maximum of about 24 MeV for the reaction D + D -> He4.
