experts say the cost per megawatt of this plant is five times what a traditional fission plant costs

a “meltdown” in a fusion reactor would still release a great deal of radioactive material, likely in the form of tritium based on the designs in play right now.

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, meaning not only will it cause radioactive destruction, but the hydrogen atoms will also readily bond with almost everything they touch.

So ... more expensive than fission, equally dangerous, and won't be operational for 20 years.

Sounds logical.
