Senator Bernie Sanders on Democratic Socialism in the United States. In his inaugural remarks in January 1937, in the midst of the Great Depression, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt looked out at the nation and this is what he saw. He saw tens of millions of its citizens denied the basic necessities of life.
The fusion reaction that is easiest to accomplish is the reaction between two hydrogen isotopes: deuterium, extracted from water and tritium, produced during the fusion reaction through contact with lithium.When deuterium and tritium nuclei fuse, they form a helium nucleus, a neutron and a lot of energy.he fusion reaction that is easiest to accomplish is the reaction between two hydrogen isotopes: deuterium, extracted from water and tritium, produced during the fusion reaction through contact with lithium.
Hydrogen is unique in that it has three isotopes which are named. Deuterium is one of the isotopes of hydrogen. It has one proton and one neutron. The most common isotope of hydrogen is protium, which has one proton and no neutrons.Because deuterium contains a neutron, it is more massive or heavier than protium, so it is sometimes called heavy hydrogen.By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen. 2  The natural abundance of deuterium in the ocean is approximately 156.25 ppm, which is one atom in 6,400 of hydrogen. 3  The name for deuterium comes from the Greek word deuteros, which means second.
