Medical Definition of Triton burnup
1.
Tritons produced in fusion reactions may fuse with other plasma particles as they slow down, thus burning up and (for D-T burnup reactions in a D-D plasma) emitting 14.7 MeV neutrons which can be measured, distinct from other sources. Measurements of the burnup of tritons (predominantly formed in the hot core of the plasma) can provide a test of particle transport in the plasma.
