This statement was amusing:
"Ninety percent of all the energy that comes out of that reaction is pure radioactivity, so it is not an environmental option whatsoever. But the public has been led to believe that this type of fusion will supply them with a safe environmental energy source."
Isn't the nature of a nuclear reaction, whether fission or fusion, the release of energy in the form of radiation be it alpha, beta, or gamma.
Change back to an old favorite tagline:
"Isn't the nature of a nuclear reaction, whether fission or fusion, the release of energy in the form of radiation be it alpha, beta, or gamma."
I don't know about fusion, but the vast majority of energy released from a fission reaction is in the form of kinetic energy of the fission fragments (the two new elements). The rest of the energy is radiation in the form of decay neutrinos, decay gammas, decay betas, prompt gammas and prompt betas.
