   I had envisioned that US would not fall behind China in this regard.   
   We are discussing the controversial usage of extra neutron flux from the   
   central fusion reactor manufacturing helium to stimulate fission reactions   
   from adjacent "breeder" method so as to burn U238 and other fissionable   
   material, as opposed to the more    
   traditional but limited U235 thermal neutron technology.   
   Yes, the fusion is initiated and controlled by controlled pinches with   
   resulting thermal energy absorbed by reactor high pressure fluid cooling.   
   Of course, it is not quite that simple, and brings promise of a certain kind   
   of "green energy". Manufactured tritium can fuel the heavy water fusion   
   reactions.   
   Of course this effort is or was intended to benefit all humanity, but not to   
   be used anymore for weapons.    
   Irate  Neutrons are not to be allowed into the people, animal, or plant tank.   
   Oil price shock only accelerates further interest of US to bring back to life   
   fusion-fission hybrid so as to allow to burn away some of  the extra nuclear   
   waste in a beneficial fashion.   
   Terrorists miss out on use of such technology, as we cannot trust them to be   
   truthful.
