Fusion reactors: Not what they’re cracked up to be

Long touted as the “perfect” energy source, fusion reactors share many drawbacks with fission—and even add a few new ones of their own.

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

@globalecoguy This is a tangent, but I'm amused at this line that explains "24 orders of magnitude more reactive":

«Think of the numeral one with 24 zeroes after it.»

In slightly more space, the author could have written:

«That's 1000000000000000000000000 times as reactive.»

...and I feel like that might be more effective communication. :-P
