ITAR should be shut down. Straight up. It's a complete waste of taxpayer funds taht holds no prospect of producing commercially viable power. Its design constraints were decided decades ago. Since then science and engineering has advanced a lot. I'd love if it fusion became commercially viable but I'm doubtful it ever will. At the least the kind involving fusion atoms in a plasma for all the documented reasons, most notably plasma turbulence and the power loss and container damage from neutron escapes. I'm not that concerned about a shortage of tritium. That's a solvable problem. In fact we probably need a variety of breeder reactors for things like this and producing plutonium for deep space probes anyway. Fusion is a trap for many because it seems so easy. I mean the Sun is doing a lot of it. But the Sun is relatively inefficient (which is compensated for by mass) and it solves the containment problem with gravity.
