Actually when things go wrong in Fusion power, it just stops. The toughest part getting the old ‘50s H-bombs working is keeping the reaction going.

The radiation produced cools the reaction below ignition point (near 20M deg with Deuterium-Tridium reaction, 40M with H3 reaction) If I remember correctly, just trying to keep it simple.

Let me get this straight. You are trying to tell me that for the second time in my life I am wrong? Is that correct?

Well, **** you!

;-)

Yeah, my understanding is one of the problems of Fusion power is getting it going, but I thought once a “chain reaction” got going, the results are hinted at in the phrase “chain reaction” and it continues until starved of food.

Now, are you going to suggest that I could be wrong twice in the same day?!
