Abstract
In this paper a study of the behavior of Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) plasma nuclear fusion reaction in terms of variations of time and temperature and in the presence of deuterium-tritium sources using double cone ignition is presented. The aim is the determination of the optimum physical conditions with low tritium consumption rate for obtaining the total energy gain with a value of greater than 200.
