My personal opinion about nuclear energy ('convential' reactors) is that
its usage is untolerable, because the waste problem is unsolved.

My hope was (is?) that nuclear fusion (plasma....) would not cause these
problems. And that is what I would like to ask - is there anybody who
can comment on the waste problem in connection with nuclear fusion power
plants?

I finally would like to draw your attention to an article in the October
issue of the Scientific American - which has an article about nuclear fusion,
but which does not really answer my question. What is the amount of
waste produced??
