The performance of a fusion driven spacecraft engine will be strongly dependent on the type of fuel adopted for the mixture since this is one of the factors that will determine the exhaust velocity. For example, for a DT fusion fuel at assumed 50:50 mixture the primary thermonuclear reaction will be \(\displaystyle D + T \rightarrow ^{4}He(3.5\,\text{MeV}) + n(14.1\,\text{MeV}). \)
