The thermonuclear fusion section of the 2011 NRL Plasma Formulary (Huba, 2011) provides the reaction rate for DT fusion as a function of temperature, on pages 44-45. We describe a statistical analysis based on finding alternative functions for the DT reaction rate in a gaseous mixture (averaged over a Maxwellian ion distribution parametrized as a function of ion temperature). The purpose of these alternative fits is to determine the validity of reaction rate expressed as a power of the parameter Tion, when compared to the NRL Plasma Formulary.
