Honors Fusion Fuel Density

Refer to the post from December 16 for how to do this calculation.

Now we need a 400,000 kW power plant. The plant will convert enrgy from the reactor to electricity with an efficiency of 40%. The reactor will be 300 cubic meters in volume. The reactor will use the deuterium helium 3 cycle so all the information from December 16 about the reaction including energy per reaction, cross section, velocity of fuel nuclei, etc still applies, but the power and volume are different. Calculate the amount of fuel needed per cubic meter.
