But that's to be expected, because T is frequently a product of DD fusion in hot fusion, so even though the output of CF is primarily He4, it stands to reason that occasionally a hot fusion reaction would take place producing a little T. With ordinary Hydrogen that is orders of magnitude less likely, because of the low level of D in ordinary Hydrogen. Perhaps a more likely product would be the occasional He3 atom (from P + D), but He3 is harmless. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
