In order to achieve the transformation, deuterium must be subjected to a temperature of a hundred million degrees.

The first successful nuclear-fusion device was the hydrogen bomb, in which the deuterium reaction was triggered by explosion of a fission bomb. A much more complex problem, however, is the production of controlled thermonuclear reaction, which would supply vast amounts of energy for peaceful purposes. The main difficulty—that of confining tremendously hot gas—can be overcome by means of strong magnetic fields that prevent the deuterons from touching the container’s walls (which would melt and evaporate!) by confining them within a central hot region.
