> Does Fusion produce radioactive nuclear waste the same way fission does?
> Nuclear fission power plants have the disadvantage of generating unstable nuclei; some of these are radioactive for millions of years. Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant in a closed circuit. Tritium is radioactive (a beta emitter) but its half life is short. It is only used in low amounts so, unlike long-lived radioactive nuclei, it cannot produce any serious danger.
> The activation of the reactor’s structural material by intense neutron fluxes is another issue. This strongly depends on what solution for blanket and other structures has been adopted, and its reduction is an important challenge for future fusion experiments.
Copenhagen Atomics' waste burner burns Thorium up. There's a video that explains that ~ One billiards ball of thorium covers all the energy that a person uses in their life
Thorium is lower cost and lower risk.
Waste burning is further along than what is being developed in East Tennessee, given an assessment of Copenhagen Atomics' published specs.
Recent administrations worked to develop strategic arms reduction agreements and limited expenditures on foreign conflict.
TIL that a foreign country being regime-changed this month has a 1% renewable energy mix
