A massive power source with the by-product of helium. Maybe we will be able to avoid another Yucca mountain if this thing is for real.

It also produces hot neutrons, which induce radioactivity in whatever they hit. Oh most of the energy would be capture in something that just got hot, but inevitably some would hit the walls of the chamer, the "beer can" etc, transmuting the elements which comprise them into somehting else, most likely an unstable, that is radioactive, something else. Still it would likely produce alot less R waste than a fusion plant..hopefully anyway.
