- shadowxs76 8y agoIt has already been weaponized. Hydrogen/thermonuclear fusion bombs are a thing and have been since the 50s.
- iaw 8y agoWhile other replies have addressed your misunderstanding about the existence of fusion based weapons it is also worth highlighting that the radioactive waste by-products from fusion power generation are far more manageable than by-products from existing fission power generation methods.
- pier25 8y agoWe already have the capability to wipe out humanity with nuclear weapons. Nothing would really change in this respect.
- cestith 8y agoWeaponized fusion has been around for decades. Getting a confined, long-term reaction from which to draw usable power is the difficult part remaining.
