Well that's a scary thought... :o  x_x

This is AWESOME! The holy grail of clean energy.

Everyone overlooks the fast neutrons...and how to stop them and how when you use materials to shield against them, they become "activated" (read radioactive).

But still.... a good step forward

Decommissioned fusion plants would be radioactive for 100 to 500 years  .
