No, it's just saying they we haven't really done the serious work and engineering yet required to have an answer for this yet. Remember, we still aren't even sure which type of reactor design will work/be used. These are the type of problems that we can't seriously deal with until we have at least the basics down.
- pfdietz 4y agoThis is the "ignore the engineering until we get the physics to work" mantra. There are generic problems that can kill DT fusion independent of the physics, and these need to be investigated to see if a solution is even plausible. If one is not, then continuing to invest in the physics for DT fusion reactors is a complete waste of resources.
