oh no dude theres a LOT of radiation. its crazy how hot it is actually.
you just dont do it outside. nor do you point it at anyone. or let anyone anywhere near the laser or the target bay while youre doing a shot. you got like 4ft concrete lead-lined walls all around it
i got to see the U of R one a few times
the ones in cali and los alamos are like 10x bigger, but its still some of the most insane looking engineering ive ever seen

>inertial fusion was never expected to be self-sustaining
yea i know
ppl dont realize its still very much the wild west of throwing shit at the wall. they need to actually understand wtf is even happening in order to harness it. or to even see if they can harness it, for that matter.

>The concept has always been to drop pellets of fuel and individually blast them with lasers
which is just crazy, isnt it? because one shot costs like billions of dollars
how tf do you scale that? youre using more energy than youre creating
