A family living in a villa consumes about 25 MWh of energy per year. We imagine that this energy could be produced in a fusion power plant that uses the nuclear reaction H + H -> He + n, where H stands for deuterium, He for helium-3 and n for neutron. We also assume that the efficiency of the fusion power plant is 30%. How many grams of deuterium are needed each year to produce energy for this family?
The energy of this reaction is
