You must be using the phrase "easily available" in a way that I have not previously been aware.

But it would be great because a H3 reaction produces energy but no neutrons, the same is true for a Boron-Hydrogen fusion reaction and you can pick up those ingredients at your local supermarket. Unfortunately both reactions need even higher temperatures than the standard deuterium-tritium reaction and we haven't even got that to work, except of course for in the H Bomb.
