Helium-3
Definition
Rare isotope of helium (two protons, one neutron) used as fuel in aneutronic fusion reactions. Abundant on the Moon from solar wind deposition. Used in D-He3 fusion which produces protons and helium-4 with minimal neutron radiation, making it attractive for space propulsion and clean energy.
