Just like how countries can simply 'copy' nuclear weapon designs, right?
- adventured 12y agoOr how China can easily just copy and use nuclear reactor designs, instead of buying them from Westinghouse or GE (that is to say, not).
- patrickk 12y agoOne way or another, if a successful fusion reactor is actually built, the design will eventually get out and be reverse engineered and copied. It's too important for it to not happen.
- XorNot 12y agoKnowing something is definitely feasible is very, very different to trying to invent the first working prototype. i.e. knowing that a particular design of plane does actually fly, means you can make very different assumptions about information you get from looking at it's shape.
