Seawater contains Deuterium (D) which can be used in a full cycle fusion reactor. Basically D+D creates either Tritium (T) + H or He3+ a neutron. Those products can then react with one another. The easiest reaction to do is D+T since it requires the lowest temperautures but Tritium needs to be manufactured which can be difficult.
