LOL!
Seriously, when I was majoring in Nuclear Engineering in the early 70’s fusion was anticipated to be technically viable no less than 20-30 years into the future. As far as I can see, it’s still the same story. [shrugs]
Much more practical, available now, tested and proven; nuclear power from thorium fueled reactors.
There is $32 billion in the Nuclear Waste Disposal Fund, the money paid in by electric consumers.
Currently, 64,000 tons of waste are stored at various US nuke plants.
Only 5 percent of the energy in nuclear fuel rods is extracted. 95 percent is considered waste...
