Thanks for the info. Thus if hot fusion is not containable and cold fusion is the alternative, then am thinking I must learn more about cold fusion. I would love to see fusion work. Would eliminate the waste for one thing and the waste is a problem. Spoke recently with someone in the field of fission. I asked one question. Had he read anything which would make him think fusion was possible. He did not know, and stated his side of the equation was fission. Had a professor once and in his class his comment was, We went the wrong way. Should have gone the fusion route. So I asked a question. Which was the easier for containment, fusion or fission? The answer was long from him. He did say fission was more possible because containment was possible. At the time fission containment came to be there was no containment possible for fusion. Fusion (imho) offers limitless energy, if containment can be found. Soon I hope for fusion to be contained. I believe fusion is the energy of the future, if containment is found. It will take a better mind than mine to find the piece to the puzzle.
"Hot Fusion" is REALLY DIFFICULT (and has not yet been practically accomplished even after fifty years, by any of the MANY routes that have been tried. And depending on the particular fusion fuel mix, it is not without its own problems with radiation and waste disposal. True that the reaction itself generates no waste, but the "easiest to burn" fuel mix generates lot of neutrons, and the structure of the reactor itself slowly becomes radioactive. At the end of the life of the plant, that radioactive material also has to be "disposed of".
Disposal of wastes from both processes are overblown in the public mind, and tainted by leftover propaganda from the Cold War. Waste disposal CAN be done, but is being prevented (at least in the US) from being done by the eco-nuts.
If you want to start learning about "cold fusion", I suggest starting with Edmund Storm's on-line (free) introduction "A Student's Guide to Cold Fusion". He expands his coverage in his book "The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction" (this is intended as a college science text and is not cheap....on the order of a hundred bucks on Amazon..but you can get your local library to borrow it for you through Interlibrary Loan.
I also suggest looking through the LENR/CANR.org Website.
