Abstract
Methods for producing large, highly nuclear spin-polarized thermonuclear fuels HD, D.sub.2, HT and DT in a state where they can be stored and manipulated for appreciable times at ordinary liquid helium temperatures, are disclosed. Molecular mixtures, radiation treatments, symmetry species conversion catalysts, molecular species spatial arrangements, radio frequency irradiations and anneal programs are given to provide polarized .uparw.D and polarized .uparw.T in usable forms in the solid, liquid and high density gaseous phases.
