    I thought this technology was 50 years away?*

        Fusion reactor in a transit van size, that would add a whole new dimension to the terrorist format.

        If it becomes a reality then the possibilities for decent uses are awesome

            Got going quite a while ago....

            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Well you can use Fusion itself for a bomb, using a Fusion Reaction. Hypothetical though, or so I was told when I worked in Nuclear Industry. On VMS tho not like skip runs or void tests or whatever to bods used to get me to run on their Alphas. Or VAXes if 1992....

                    As in a fusion bomb yes. Which requires specific geometry of isotropic chemical explosives to act as a trigger. But the question was a fusion reactor, it's self sustaining, and is going to explode how?
