We estimate that the electrodisintegration of the deuteron contributes at least 25% of the total reaction cross section when the deuteron interacts with a nucleus of charge {ital Z}{approx gt}40 at a kinetic energy lower than 50 MeV. The neglect of this breakup channel in deuteron-nucleus optical potentials might lead to unrealistic predictions for the mass and energy dependence of the total deuteron reaction cross sections.
