Lidsky is long dead (as are Pfirsch and Schmitter, who had similar critiques in Germany), but I like to think he'd have been a supporter of Helion. Helion's approach is close to what Lidsky advocated (aneutronic fusion), at least before Lidsky's student Todd Rider showed truly aneutronic fusion was not likely to work. However, the Helion approach has greatly reduced neutronicity, particularly of energetic DT neutrons, and exploits the kind of non-Maxwellian plasmas w. energy recovery/recirculation that Rider was analyzing.
