Men trickered sustainable 'Nuclear fusion' is a we can say nowadays just fraud scam and hoax course it is against the laws of physics . And as far as nuclear split atom chaih rdaction is concerned hence; the A , H or Neutron bombs also 10% BS. Nothing will happen nuke wise. Russian empire is exit. The nuclear 'deterant hoax' was not the nuclear war deterant, but just a partly sucdesfull war deterant and to end WW2. Real A-Bombs or H-boms or Netron bombs never haver still don't and never will exist. Why? Course it was just a well prepped hoax,..and. Be course the nucler atom split chainreaction (Atomb bomb) is against / violating the Universal Laws Of Physics. Einstein, Oppenheimer etc were actors coached by natural scientists, 'holywood / Disney studeo's, etc. The Manhattan project was bluff. Heavy water factory raid In Norway intended to let AXIS believe the allies were close to developkig an 'in Science fiction books known weapon called Atomic bomb or Pulse or Ray weapon. Raids on tokio nagasaki and hiroshima are just fire bomb and normal blast bomb raids. The japanesse surrender partly and 'play along' with the allies that the destruction was caused by just one Atom Bomb dropped on several cities by only one bomber (plane) at the time! All so called nuclear tests are one and the same prepped for months or years even kilotons of ordenace and other explosives and combustables blown up in one moment as if it was caused by one little ATOM bomb device. Above and unserground. To make it look real preferable heave radiactive material was added ih the blown up stock pile of 'explosives' to make it look to be an Atom bomb. Chain reaction with radioactive 'fall out'? These above ground always fake just convedtional explotions, sold as life nuke tests , caused cancer radioactive polution etc and were banned almost unanimus by 99,99 % of the countries ih the world. Exept china and warchaupact? Why? Cause most test were not even large explotion but ver early extreemly advance trucked montages small scale films. The H- bomb for instance the most famous one tdst were the remains of axis fleet was blown up. Is just a slow mo movie witadded back grojnd and explotion is a rising sun above the ocean. The ships are models! In nowaday USD dollars that ' movie' production would have cost almost have cost 700 million USD! China and russia were unable to make thdse trucked SF a fake A or H bomb tests. So they persisted in large stock pile prepped for years often big explotions above ground the only showed to there own audience in blank and white and never in colour. The tzar bomb movie from the early 50's is only in the in the 1990's first shown in later added colour! Nukes are and and never were real!

Dumping $100 trillion dollars into research into a warp engine still won't give us a warp engine. We can't get the fusion reactions to as much break even on energy input to output. To make it a practical source of power, it'd need to put out 50-fold more energy than it takes to keep the reaction going. At the current rate of incremental progress, assuming it could continue in a linear fashion, we won't have feasible fusion power until about 500,000 AD. Not exactly a practical solution.

@Ajit Adonis Manilal I assume you probably don't think this, but a lot of people seem to. Fusion reactors require huge energy input to stay running (even if they put out more energy than is put in), so they cannot really run away like that. Even modern fission plants are very, very unlikely to go chernobyl; the chernobyl incident took place in a reactor that was already vastly outdated, and had essentially no safeguards. Even Chernobyl, though, did not produce a nuclear explosion; it was a steam explosion, from hot reactor meeting coolant water. You fundamentally need weapons grade fuel for a nuclear weapon.

[@whitedawn2122]

To add onto what Alex Lewis said about fusion, if it does begin a meltdown it will melt the reactor walls, destroying the electromagnets, and then the plasma will fissile away, meaning, while yes, you will have to repair or replace the reactor, it will not prevent the surrounding area from being livable... unless it was it’s only source of electricity and they can’t source it from anywhere else

the nuclear stuff doesn't go boom. its the water flash converting to steam that goes boom. water expands 1800x when converting from liquid to gas.

[@thesteambreaker9449]

Please explane your concerns further

[@soylentgreenb]

@@thesteambreaker9449 A reasonably designed nuclear reactor is inherently stable. If you withdraw a control rod and increase reactivity, the reactor heats up a little bit, the distance between fuel atoms increases slightly, which reduces reactivity, the neutron thermal temperature changes slightly and reactivity is reduced, water expands and some is pushed out of the reactor, so the neutron temperature increases slightly and reactivity is reduced. If you remove heat at a greater rate then power will remain higher. If you don't the core is just a little hotter. It's not balancing on a needle between shutting down and exploding. Actual failure modes of power reactors that are licensable in the west are of the cooling was lost or core was uncovered somehow and decay heat slowly melted the core. Steam can react with the hot zirconium clading making hydrogen, but it can't actually explode in the core because there's no oxygen. If the hydrogen is released it can mix with oxygen and explode somewhere outside the reactor core and make a mess. RBMK, e.g. Chernobyl would never have been, but even there it was a steam explosion from operating the reactor in an unsafe condition; it's dual moderated, so boiling in the core creates bubbles that neutrons zip across; the graphite is a better moderator than water, so this actually increase reactivity, which increases boiling, which increases reactivity and it spirals out of control. You can't create a nuclear explosion in incredibly badly designed reactors, such as the SL-1 research reactor, which had a single control rod. When it got stuck, a technician pulled on it and it came loose suddenly, increasing reactivity in the core massively. The steam explosion shot the control rod out of the core and pinned the technician to the ceiling. No nuclear explosion. When the army was experimenting with highly enriched weapons grade uranium in the form of uranium-deuteride for creating small nuclear bombs. They fully intended it to blow up with the highest yield possible; you need much less fuel since it is moderated. The moderation means you slow down the neutrons so the fission crossection gets much bigger; but slowing down the neutrons also means the time between each neutron generation increases and there are less generations before the bomb blows apart. The highest yield they got was 200 tonnes of TNT equivalent, which is abysmal. It's hard to even purposefully make a "reactor" that will cause some kind of nuclear explosion. Small well designed reactors can completely eject control rods out of the core using compressed air, raising the power from tens of watts to a couple of GW for some milliseconds and then rapidly dropping down to a few kilowatts. It's all automatic based on physical laws. There's no active measure there to make it happen or to prevent some kind of disaster. It looks like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYPPhYeAptqMbbc

[@flippos]

Fusion be like: /gamemode 1

[@EliteKnowledgeClan]

Then consider the fact that fusion converts less than 1% of mass to energy and might require relatively rare fuels if we can't work out how to fuse plain old hydrogen. We could theoretically harness black holes to convert 100% of any mass we throw in into energy. Literally any type of matter. That's a power source that would truly make a civilisation that might as well be gods to us. Fusion lets us conquer our planet, solar system and some of the galaxy but it's by no means the ultimate power source we could see in the future. It does have the helpful trait of almost certainly being possible in the near term though. But the biggest advantage of fusion is that we can use it to create anything we want from the most abundant element in the universe. Even if we don't know how to fuse all the elements with net energy coming out we could still use the type/s we do know how to do in order to power the fusing of the rest. We would literally have a power thought to be magic through human history, we could turn water into gold.
