fusion fuel
Powers the sun
Fusion fuel is material that can undergo nuclear fusion—the process of combining atomic nuclei to release energy.
The most promising fusion fuels are hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and tritium, which fuse at relatively achievable temperatures.
Unlike fission fuel, fusion fuel produces no long-lived radioactive waste and can be extracted from seawater, making it attractive for future power generation.
