Abstract
A new direct method to measure fuel-pusher mixing rate in deutrium fuel is presented. The method involves two secondary nuclear fusion reactions, D(t, n)4He and D(3He, p)4He, where triton and 3He nucleus are the products of primary fusion reactions. The required conditions for which the method may be applied are also briefly discussed.Keywords
