Well, here's how I would do it, if I really had to:

Radius = (mass) x (speed)/(charge) x (B)

Speed = Sqrt(2 x KE/mass)

Deuteron mass = 3.341 x 10-27 kg

Deuteron charge = 1.6 x 10-19 Coul

1 meV = 1.6 x 10-13 Joule

KE = 15 meV = 2.4 x 10-12 Joule

B = 1.5 Tesla = 15,000 Gauss = 1.5 Weber/meter2

Radius = Sqrt(2 x KE x mass)/(charge) x(B)

Radius = Sqrt(2 x 2.4 x 10-12 x 3.341 x 10-27)/(1.6 x 10-19) x (1.5)

Radius = 52.77 centimeters(rounded)

(Since v2/c2 is only 0.016, I took the easy way out and didn't apply

any relativistic correction to the mass.)
