Part 5/8:
However, Helion's process also has its drawbacks. The typical fuel used in nuclear fusion includes deuterium and tritium, which generates fast-moving neutrons that do not assist in current generation due to their neutral charge. To overcome this limitation, Helion has focused on utilizing helium-3 combined with deuterium, which does yield charged particles. But, this method comes with a higher energy threshold, about four times that of traditional fuels, complicating the process.
