Abstract
In this paper, we solve numerically kinetic equations for the chain reactions of μCF in triple H/D/T mixture. Regarding the computational results, we show that μCF efficiency decreases by adding hydrogen H to D/T mixture. This is in contradiction to the usual belief which expects the increase of μCF efficiency in H/D/T mixture. Our results are confirmed by the first and recent experiment on μdt cycling rate in the triple mixture.
