==Abstract==

Weyl's Gauge Principle of 1929 has been used to establish Weyl's Quantum Principle (WQP) that requires  that the Weyl scale factor should be unity. It has been shown that the WQP requires the following: quantum mechanics  must be used to determine system states; the electrostatic potential must be non-singular and quantified; interactions  between particles with different electric charges (i.e. electron and proton) do not obey Newton's Third Law at subnuclear  separations, and nuclear particles may be much different than expected using the standard model. The above  WQP requirements lead to a potential fusion reactor wherein deuterium nuclei are preferentially fused into helium  nuclei. Because the deuterium nuclei are preferentially fused into helium nuclei at temperatures and energies lower than  specified by the standard model there is no harmful radiation as a byproduct of this fusion process. Therefore, a reactor  using this reaction does not need any shielding to contain such radiation. The energy released from each reaction and  the absence of shielding makes the deuterium-plus-deuterium-to-helium (DDH) reactor very compact when compared  to other reactors, both fission and fusion types. Moreover, the potential energy output per reactor weight and the  absence of harmful radiation makes the DDH reactor an ideal candidate for space power. The logic is summarized by  which the WQP requires the above conditions that make the prediction of DDH possible. The details of the DDH  reaction will be presented along with the specifics of why the DDH reactor may be made to cause two deuterium nuclei  to preferentially fuse to a helium nucleus. The presentation will also indicate the calculations needed to predict the  reactor temperature as a function of fuel loading, reactor size, and desired output and will include the progress achieved  to date.
