Fusion also has the "dealing with vast quantities of a highly chemically active salt touching our plumbing directly over 40 to 60 years." Nobody talks about it because the magnetic containment problem is harder.

Potential designs for fusion reactors then have a way of exposing lithium to the neutron flux from the reactor.
