Comment on Can Nuclear Fusion Put the Brakes on Climate Change?parent

But it's not true. Fusion power plants produce a steady stream of radioactive waste from the neutron bombardment. They can leak radioactive tritium. They can explode, spewing hot plasma and chunks of radioactive reactor walls in the area around the plant. The scope of the problem is nowhere near a fission reactor meltdown, but it's also not "gone".
