| Your info does not mention FUSION explosions as some danger anything like fission dangers. Hight temps. = potential Nagasaki atomic explosion? Reference please. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Potential for explosions (with caveats): While a fusion reactor is not prone to explosive events due to the fusion reaction itself, certain scenarios like a large-scale quench (a sudden loss of superconductivity in the magnetic field) or a hydrogen explosion due to a leak could lead to explosions, though these are different from the uncontrolled chain reaction explosions associated with fission. The fusion process requires very high temperature, in excess of 100 million degrees Celsius. From 2022 report: "For the first time, researchers in South Korea were able to keep a nuclear fusion reaction going for 30 seconds at temperatures beyond 100 million degrees Celsius, which is approximately seven times hotter than the Sun’s core. ... The difficult element of nuclear fusion is not producing the reaction. ..... The challenge is sustaining this reaction so power plants can harness the energy." "Plasma instabilities can disrupt reactions and harm equipment if they come into contact with the reactor’s walls."
