A Fusion Thruster for Space Travel - IEEE Spectrum: "Instead of using deuterium and tritium as the fuel stocks, the new motor extracts energy from boron fuel. Using boron, an 'aneutronic' fuel, yields several advantages over conventional nuclear fusion. Aneutronic fusion, in which neutrons represent less than 1 percent of the energy-carrying particles that are the result of a reaction, is easier to manage."
