Can an Atomic Explosion Ignite a Chain Reaction of Deuterium in 3I/ATLAS?

One of the surprising anomalies of 3I/ATLAS is its exceedingly high fraction of deuterium, amounting to one deuterium (D) in 100 hydrogen (H) atoms in water (as reported here) and one deuterium in 30 hydrogen atoms in the organic molecule of methane (as reported here). The latter value of D/H fraction of 3.3% is a thousand times above the average cosmic value elsewhere in the Universe.

During the Manhattan Project, Edward Teller raised the speculative possibility that the fireball from an atomic bomb explosion might ignite the atmosphere by triggering a fusion reaction of nitrogen (14N) nuclei (as described here)…

Part 1: Sasquatch That Can’t Be Killed with Bullets and Disappear in A Flash of Light.

“Until he passed away, the farmer's son told me that he'd never forget how that large 8-foot-tall Bigfoot creature with those glowing green eyes kept looking back and staring at him as he's firing live ammo into it. And he said there was no evidence that it was injured in any way!”

Silent, Stationary White “Orbs” in Utah and Colorado

“Some people who saw them over Breckinridge said the white objects formed triangles and a line. But on our camera, it seemed the objects did not move at all ... for as long as five to fifteen minutes without moving an inch on our viewscreen in the camera. And then you would see a flash of light and they would take off across the edge of the (Baldy) mountain ridge.”

- Colorado KUSA-TV 9news Reporter Matt Renoux in Breckinridge, CO

Part 1: U.S. Navy Chief Yeoman Describes “Extraterrestrial Biological Entities” in TOP SECRET/MAJIC Photographs.

"You could tell it was sort of reptilian-ish, but at the same time you could not point out discernible scales. Throughout its head in different places, it sort of had little bumps. It was very smooth. It was very dead."

- Thomas C. Sheppard, Chief Yeoman, U. S. Navy (Retired)
