Abstract

The thermal thermonuclear instability of a deuterium plasma with inhomogeneous temperature and number density in a strong magnetic field is studied theoretically. The distribution of the number density is supposed to be proportional to that of the temperature. By solving the basic equation which governs the reactions, the growth rates in a pure DD fusion reactor and a catalyzed DD fusion reactor are obtained. It is shown that the plasmas with inhomogeneous temperature and number density in the above reactors are unstable to the thermal instability.
