The complexity that fusion reactors face, as I understand it, is how to make them efficient enough. The process requires an infusion of energy to get the reaction going. Apparently with Tokamak, the input energy requirements were too high to be feasible.
Yes there are risks. But Princeton successfully ran a Tokamak reactor for 15 years. And it was safely dismantled, which is one of the concerns with lingering radioactivity. -Kevin On 6/29/05, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A $13 billion experiment of "daunting complexity" that will attempt to > harness the energy source that powers the Sun doesn't sound like > making cotton balls to me.
