Consider the so called D-T reaction (deuterium-tritium fusion) `._1H^2+._1H^3to._2He^4+n`  Calculate the energy released in MeV in this reaction form the date  `m(._1H^2)=2.014102u, m(._1H^3)=3.016049u`  (b) Consider the radius of both deuterium and tritium to be approximately 2.0fm. what is the kinetic energy needed to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between the two nuclei? To what temperature must the gases the be heated to initiate the reaction?
