Fusion reactions arent even remotely close to viable.
You can assemble different reactor types in close proximity, which has never been done, and eliminate 99% of nuclear waste. Its never been done because we dont build them with this intended we just yeet the stuff into the ground.

Her next statement is that commercialization is decades away, which both her and the announcement agreed with.
And thanks for literally ignoring the entire comment you replied to

Also, I have cited nearly every claim I've made and you have not. We're not equally discussing this in good faith. Pretending fission is harmless is a joke. It's worth the risk IMO, but stop downplaying actual nuclear meltdowns

Stop over hyping reactor metldowns. There have been more deaths per terawatt from fucking WIND POWER!!!
