I’ll start getting excited once they do this without using tritium.
Most of the yield comes from D + T reaction -> 17MeV
D + D requires much higher temps and reaction -> 4Mev

Tritium requires neutron irradiation to create before fusion reaction.

D + D works with sea water extraction but yield is much lower.

True enough but its a step forward.
