It is shown that within the framework of planar geometry, the process of ignition of thermonuclear combustion in a D-fT plasma, when account is taken of the electronic thermal conductivity and of the local absorption of the a particles, can be accompanied by localization of the combustion on definite sections of the medium during a finite time interval. The dimensions and amplitudes of the initial temperature perturbations that lead to resonant excitation of the combustion are indicated. The dimension and time scales of the development of the thermonuclear combustion structure are given.
