Summary

Fusion has many advantages: the fuel source is inexhaustible; in the event of instability, the reaction is self-extinguishing and will not run away; the products of the reaction are not radioactive; much less waste is produced than in fission reactors. On the other hand, given the use of intense magnetic fields created by the superconducting magnets, thermonuclear reactors will require very powerful cryogenic cooling systems.
