Well, yeah there is always the stupid human factor. But fusion is still an improvement because there is no room with nuclear waste in it. Fusion does not produce waste like fission does; there are no spent fuel rods or other troublesome material. The only radiated material is the fusion chamber itself. So, yeah if somebody managed to cause the entire plant to conventionally (not atomically) blow up somehow, one could have a problem. But even this is less troublesome then a fission plant since the nuclear materials should not be around for thousands of years. And I don't think you would get the giant cloud of radioactive dust unless they manage some kind of incredible explosion that pulverizes the entire plant.
Bad if you get covered in the stuff, but the survivors grandchildren have a chance of coming back. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
