      Here’s the most basic info on fusion safety I could find: https://www.iaea.org/bulletin/safety-in-fusion

      The conditions required to start and maintain a fusion reaction make a fission-type accident or nuclear meltdown based on a chain reaction impossible. Nuclear fusion power plants will require out-of-this-world conditions — temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius to achieve high enough particle density for the reaction to take place. As fusion reactions can only take place under such extreme conditions, a ‘runaway’ chain reaction is impossible

      “Fusion is a self-limiting process: if you cannot control the reaction, the machine switches itself off,”

      fusion does not produce highly radioactive, long lived nuclear waste.

          Would you care to share a single reputable source, or are these your own speculations on a technology that all the experts are saying is safe?

          Can you provide a reputable source for these claims? Otherwise I’ll delete the OG comment and its replies. There’s no point in leaving up misinformation.
