The advantage of muons as the medium with which to sustain a chain reaction is
that, unlike neutrons in fission, they are charged and can thus have freedom of
movement constrained (by magnetic field or electrostatics). The downside is
short lifetime.

You are suggesting an interesting concept Bob. Do you suppose that there is
phononic coupling between the individual reacting sites resulting in some form
of chain reaction? If that is true then a threshold density of deuterium
would be required in order to spread a local burn. Otherwise you
