WhoTom Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Quote experts say the cost per megawatt of this plant is five times what a traditional fission plant costs Quote a “meltdown” in a fusion reactor would still release a great deal of radioactive material, likely in the form of tritium based on the designs in play right now. Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, meaning not only will it cause radioactive destruction, but the hydrogen atoms will also readily bond with almost everything they touch. Quote productive fusion in 2040 So ... more expensive than fission, equally dangerous, and won't be operational for 20 years. Sounds logical. Quote
