A massive nuclear fusion experiment just hit a major milestone, potentially putting us a little closer to a future of limitless clean energy.

Need to find a working fusion reactor? Look up.

Oh me so smart. Did we creatbthe sun? Seriously bad argument. Best solar panels are only 30% efficient.

Also things that are worth it are hard, and expensive. Look at the average cost of a Light or heavy water reactor. Another moot argument

Yes salts are corrosive but that's what Hasteloy-N solves along with Inconel

And maintenance can be done by robots as they currently do in current reactors where the radation is so bad humans can't go there.

You are the worst at this

๐Ÿคญ Try making clear points instead of mucking several things together, you can do it!

Robots can do the maintenance! Who maintains the hopefully mildly activated bots? How do we ensure mission-critical systems can come back online in a timely manner without lots of expensive redundancy? Have you observed how long robots can survive exposure to intense radiation?

Sorry little guy. MSRs take all of LWR/BWR issues and adds extremely corrosive components into the highly radioactive mix. Try talking to the rest of us when you're more experienced actually building things that are economically/environmentally contributory.

I'm no longer going to argue with an idiot

Only one of us seems afraid of facts. Adios, gringo.

Haha, nice sales brochure ๐Ÿคก

What do you think is the important information within this?

You're obviously inept at reading. Goodbye
