Deuterium is a hydrogen atom with a neutron in the nucleus along with the usual proton. Deuterium-deuterium fusion would be the fusion of two such hydrogen atoms to form helium, probably with two protons and just one neutron, with the other neutron being converted into energy.

hydrogen has multiple isotopes. the isotope of hydrogen with one neutron is called dueterium. If one successfully combines two such atoms into one atom and in the process converts the 2 neutons into two pairs of electrons and protons plus some electromagnetic energy. the result would be a standard Helium atom.
THe name Deuterium-deuterium is used to distinguish this process from one involving other isotopes of Hydrogen.

The forces required to hold a nucleus collectively contain ability. it particularly is referred to as "binding ability". think of of it like an elastic band retaining issues collectively: whilst it slips and flies off, ability is launched. so as that ability has to come back from someplace once you do the opposite, via including a proton to a heavy nucleus subsequently. notwithstanding, you point out deuterium on your query, and deuterium isn't a heavy nucleus.

Heavy water fusion. High hydrogen.
