Aneutronic fusion is any form of fusion power in which very little of the energy released is carried by neutrons. While the lowest-threshold nuclear fusion reactions release up to 80% of their energy as the kinetic energy of neutrons, aneutronic reactions release energy as the kinetic energy of charged particles, typically protons or alpha particles.
