Nuclear Fusion has been studied and it really can work but the problem is eventually we are going to run out of space to store the waste that nuclear powerplants expel and this waste needs to be kept for a long long time without the worry of being discovered by future generations. Not to mention that there hasn't been any improvement in the design of nuclear powerplant since they stopped racing to get a lot of nuclear missiles, and most plants around the world is being dismantled which is counterproductive because they favor coal and fossil fuels as energy source which is the cause of climate change.
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce significant radioactive waste which is exactly why it is far better than nuclear fission which produces radioactive nuclei.
There has been a lot development in nuclear technology. Nuclear power plants and WMDs are not mutually exclusive nor does it have to be dependent on one another. It is obvious that nuclear power is one of the carbon neutral power source out there. Dismantling nuclear power plants takes a very long time due to its radioactive nature and it is very expensive as well. Nuclear Fission if it can ever be deployed and harnessed would be a far better way of producing power, and obviously Bitcoin mining is a direct benefactor of that as well.
yes the reason the Nuclear reactor designs utilize Uranium is entirely due to the end product being turned in to bombs.
Thorium Nuclear power plant designs cannot have their end products turned in to bombs. ethics better? .. maybe.
if anyone is interested.. you can look up pebblebed reactor designs. none ever built for commercial use as far as i am aware. its a self contained fuel pebble. by itself it is safe. Only when its right beside other pebbles that you start to get a reaction.
