Detailed explanation-1: -A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant in a closed circuit.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun is a main-sequence star, and, as such, generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen and makes 616 million metric tons of helium each second.
Detailed explanation-3: -Depiction of the deuterium (D) and tritium (T) fusion reaction, which produces a helium nucleus (or alpha particle) and a high energy neutron. Nuclear Fusion reactions power the Sun and other stars. In a fusion reaction, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus.
Detailed explanation-4: -What will happen when all the hydrogen in the Sun’s core has been transformed into helium? The Sun will expand to a red giant which fuses helium to carbon and oxygen in its core by the Triple Alpha Process.
