All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
Deuterium, also known as heavy hydrogen, exhibits three separate properties: Physical properties, quantum properties and nuclear properties (the deuteron).
Deuterium is primarily produced through nuclear reactions in stars, such as the fusion of hydrogen nuclei. It is also produced on Earth through nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, as well as through heavy water electrolysis. Additionally, small amounts of deuterium are naturally found in seawater and can be extracted through a process called fractional distillation.
The conditions for nuclear fusion are high temperatures and high pressure.The high temperature gives the atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Pressure squeezes the hydrogen atoms together. They must be within 1x10 -15meters of each other to fuse. W­ith current technology, we can only achieve the temperatures and pressures necessary to make deuterium-tritium fusion possible.
Deuterium can be found naturally in sources such as seawater, where it makes up a small percentage of the hydrogen present. It can also be produced in nuclear reactors or through the process of heavy water electrolysis.
Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperature and great pressure.
deuterium, and tritium
That depends on the temperature and pressure. Under different conditions different elements can fuse, starting at the lowest temperature and pressure deuterium and tritium fuse to make helium. In the end at the highest temperature and pressure a variety of reactants fuse to produce a mixture of nickel and iron, then fusion stops. The full list of fusion reaction equations is several hundred equations long and is best found in a book on stellar evolution.
2H is called deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen. It is commonly used in nuclear reactions and in certain types of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Two deuterium nuclei require extreme temperatures and pressure to overcome their mutual electrostatic repulsion and fuse together to form a helium-3 nucleus in a process known as nuclear fusion. This process is the basis for the energy production in the core of stars like our Sun.
Mainly; hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium
Deuterium is hydrogen. The difference between deuterium and protium (the regular hydrogen) is that deuterium has an extra neutron. As a result, there are some differences in physical properties such as density, boiling point, etc.
An example of deuterium is deuterium oxide, which is commonly known as "heavy water." Heavy water contains a higher proportion of deuterium than regular water. It is used in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator and in scientific research.
In areas of high temperature and high pressure

Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. It isn't clear what you mean by "ultra-dense deuterium". In theory, deuterium can release huge amounts of energy, via nuclear fusion.
