Comments by "David Himmelsbach" (@davidhimmelsbach557) on "The Problem with Nuclear Fusion" video.
It'll NEVER work. 'Hot' Fluorine destroys ALL containments. It's the universal solvent. The US and USSR spent billions on just this issue. After 25-years, Congress cut off funding. Only then the boys with the iron rice bowl admitted that they'd reached a dead end -- in 1960. (!) That's twenty-years of just screwing around.... In sum, it'll NEVER work. It's a materials problem.

All attempts at fusion are best halted. ALL schemes currently being funded generate excess neutrons. THAT'S the problem. Neutron scarcity is the ONLY thing holding back unlimited nuclear weapons proliferation. With 'free' neutrons by the bucket-full, thorium becomes U-233; U-238 becomes PU 239... Without limit. Making atomic explosive almost becomes child's play. Enrichment becomes unnecessary. Fusion is THE prescription for total disaster.
