Not as much as could go wrong with a fission reaction.

Not as much as could go wrong with a fission reaction.
- davesque 10y agoAnd I don't mean to demonize fission power at all. Just wanted to point out that a fusion reaction must be sustained while a fission reaction must be controlled. Of course there's more to that story as well since a fission reactor could be designed with some kind of passive failsafe (e.g. a frozen plug which seals the reactor core or something similar).
