The decrease in reaction rate with increasing temperature above 220 K is consistent with the increasing vapor pressure of an impurity, but the level must be below 10 ppm. Unfortunately such an impurity may be below the level of our present detectability. How this situation may come about in the DT reaction will be discussed.
