- galangalalgol 4y agoIf a stellerator or tokamak type fusion generator ever broke even, could it also be used for waste disposal?
- ceejayoz 4y agoNo. Chucking trash into it would immediately disrupt its operation.
- spaetzleesser 4y agoNo, it would stop working. But you could use the power it generates to burn the waste.

- nerdponx 4y agoI remember reading about these several years ago. Why didn't they catch on? I think NY City was looking into them.
- brightball 4y agoThere’s a video documentary somewhere about a big one in NJ I believe. There’s a company in Canada that specializes in making them too.
