Reply to comment by calebs_dad in How do fusion scientists expect to produce enough Tritium to sustain D-T fusion (see text)? by DanTheTerrible
Ignoring side reactions DD spits out about 1/4 of the energy and has a smaller cross section. There's also a 50/50 chance that reaction spits out tritium instead of helium 3.
It's much harder to do than DT hence the focus on DT, but not impossible.
