Primary and secondary nuclear fusion reaction yields in a spherical and uniform Deuterium-Deuterium fuel plasma have been calculated via Monte-Carlo simulations. An iterative procedure has been used to correlate the fuel areal density and temperature to the yields. It is shown that, once is measured the time-evolution of the reaction yields for an imploding capsule, the method provides the areal density, electronic temperature, density, and radius of the fuel as a function of time.
