I thought this technology was 50 years away?*

*starting from tomorrow


By the by, if any of this is true folks at ITER will be in dismay.

Ut-oh, they must be short of cash and are looking for some investment.

Fusion reactor in a transit van size, that would add a whole new dimension to the terrorist format.

If it becomes a reality then the possibilities for decent uses are awesome

"In recent years, Lockheed has gotten increasingly" ffs, that's almost as bad as "off of"

Prey do tell us how you weaponise a fusion reactor?

Well you can use Fusion itself for a bomb, using a Fusion Reaction. Hypothetical though, or so I was told when I worked in Nuclear Industry. On VMS tho not like skip runs or void tests or whatever to bods used to get me to run on their Alphas. Or VAXes if 1992....

As in a fusion bomb yes. Which requires specific geometry of isotropic chemical explosives to act as a trigger. But the question was a fusion reactor, it's self sustaining, and is going to explode how?
