What must be done is to rid the solar system of fission devices;
even a commercial reactor could conceivably wipe out the concept

Could you expain how that works? Even the worst possible fission power
accident would be not nearly as bad as a nuclear weapon explosion. If you

on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, who have a not even detectablly
above the norm mutation rate.
