If the Sun produces harmful radiation, why does a Fusion Reactors not?

Question

My understanding of fusion reactors they are creating a condition similar what is happening on the sun. However, one of the benefits that have been noted is that with fusion reactors, there isn’t nuclear waste created by harmful radioactive waste particles like there is with fission reactors.

While the sun is undergoing fusion reactions, it emits large amounts of harmful radioactive particles. Why is the same case not happening with a Fusion Reactor?

Answer 1

Also keep in mind that a nuclear reactor is gonna be fusing a few grams of hydrogen. The sun is fusing a few hundred million tons of the stuff, every second.
