Basically what the title says. I can't seem to find any information about this. My only thoughts are that maybe it forms 4He in some sort of
metastable state, which quickly decays into 1H and 3H, but I can't find a reference for that. The other thought that I came up with is maybe the 3He
is fissioning, but like before, I couldn't find a reference for that either. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Nevermind, ignore this please

Anyway, that is much better than the ITER process which fuses 2H + 3H => 4He + neutron.
The neutrons are the problem, it irradiates the reactor vessel and generates radioactive isotopes.
IMHO, the only safe nuclear fusion is neutronless fusion such as fusing hydrogen and tritium descibed here by TO.
