N2 - Polarized and unpolarized d+dn+He3 fusion reaction cross sections in the center-of-mass energy region of 20-150 keV are calculated in a distorted-wave Born approximation. The calculated unpolarized cross sections and the anisotropy of the angular distributions are within 20% of the experimental data. The polarized cross sections are found to be 7.7% of the unpolarized ones despite the inclusion of the D-state component in He3. This shows that the idea of a "neutronlean" reactor may still be feasible.
