The statistical properties of the (n)-Li-(T)-D-(n) fusion cycle response are examined via the general Fokker-Planck theory for linear systems with random coefficients. The Fokker-Planck equation for the chain carrier density probability distribution is obtained for a Gaussian stationary random reactivity fluctuation and the first few moment equations are used to establish the stability conditions of the mean square. Finally, an expression for the spectral density of the chain carrier response is presented.
