I've been reading the postings about R.T. fusion with interest, and I
am wondering: why are neutrons so undesirable in a nuclear reaction?
Aren't protons and neutrons of the same energies just as bad? Or does
the Coulomb repulsion of a proton by the nucleus play a role here?
[I've forgotten all my nuclear physics :-) ]
