    The picture shows cooling towers (which could be anything) and a Tokamak reactor. Fusion doesn’t produce any nuclear waste. Doesn’t work either though, unfortunately. Any time now…

      Absolutely incorrect. Neutron activation will produce more waste in volume than fission, but without the long lived fission products that are really nasty. We don’t really have a plan yet on HOW we’re going to circulate lithium and recapture tritium and what the waste from that will look like, but we do know it will create a significant amount of waste.
