Helium-3 is a clean, safe and efficient fuel for nuclear fusion power generation.

Helium-3 is a clean, safe and efficient fuel for nuclear fusion power generation. The development and utilization of helium-3 in lunar soil will be one of the potential solutions to the energy crisis.

Helium-3 is an isotope of helium that contains two protons and one neutron. It has many special properties. According to the theory of dilution refrigeration, when helium-3 and helium-4 are mixed in a certain proportion, the temperature can drop to almost absolute zero.

Helium- 3 can hydrogen and helium isotope nuclear fusion reaction, but different from general nuclear fusion, helium - 3 in the fusion process does not produce neutrons, so radioactive is small, and the reaction process is easy to control, environmentally friendly and safe, but the earth helium - 3 reserves a total of no more than a few hundred kilograms, it is hard to meet the need of human beings. Scientists have discovered that while helium-3 is very scarce on earth, it is abundant on the moon.
