Burn simulations have been made for D3He fuel pellet of Inertial confinement fusion to find the reasonable ignition requirements, using the hydrodynamics code MEDUSA modified to include the transport of fusion born particles. Examinations and discussions were made of the use of DT as Ignitor, its pellet component and the use of spin polarization, etc., to relieve the ignition requirement.
