Fusion of deuterium with tritium
When 2-H and 3-H are fused, they produce 4-He, a neutron, and 14.1 MeV of energy, due to the conversion of mass into energy. This is because the rest of mass of helium and a neutron combined is less than the rest mass of deuterium and tritium combined, providing energy according to E=mc2.
