From your link .... neutrons emitted during fusion: 1. D + D → T(1.01 MeV) + p(3.02 MeV) 2. D + D → He3(0.82 MeV) + n(2.45 MeV) 3. D + T → He4(3.5 MeV) + n (14.1 MeV) 4. D + He3 → He4(3.6MeV) + p(14.7 MeV) 5. T + T → He4 + 2 n + (11.3 MeV) 6. p + B11 → 3 He4 + (8.7 MeV)

Fusion is different than Fission. So it is.
Here's a basic fusion reaction, in which deuterium fuses with tritium to produce helium and a neutron.
If enough of the above events to produce meaningful power were taking place, there should have been lots of neutrons zapping around.
