But then miraculously carbon itself comes to the rescue, by just happening to have a triple resonance at exactly the right energy, namely 7.66 Mev.
-
The neutron spectrum of the output peaks at around 10 Mev, but some of the neutrons have much higher energies.

The Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge, Tennessee runs a high power (over a megawatt) proton beam at about 1 Gev (1000 Mev) and gets about 30 neutrons per proton in the beam.

Even for thermal neutrons, however, there are plenty of quibbles and distinctions, since there are “cold” and “hot” thermal neutrons, and those with energies between 1 Kev and 1 Mev are sometimes called “intermediate.”

In case you didn't notice, the 17.2 Mev means that if you do this to a substantial amount of Li6 and H2 deuterium, you get a lot of energy.
