> I also have to mention that ITER at the end of its life will present a bill of around 30,000 tons of heavily radioactive waste without having produced a single kWh. Magnetic fusion is not clean: its fuel and the products of the reactions may be modestly radioactive, but the machinery itself is not.
it's great this was mentioned, people seem to not understand wtf occurs when you 'smash' these atoms together.
Sun in a Bottle
Sun In A Bottle by Charles Seife is a really interesting read about the history of nuclear engineering and where the world is in its chase to try to get nuclear fusion as a viable form of energy. Its from 2008, so obviously a lot could have happened in six years, but its still a really cool read.
