what would happen if a fully operational fusion reactor exploded in the possibly worst way?
In: 1
The only really explosive thing in there is the hydrogen, which could produce a nasty mundane fire on a par with a gas-fired power station.
This would shut off the fuel or power supply to the fusion, which would blow out like a candle.
I guess some designs might use liquid metal coolant, which could produce poisonous smoke if it caught fire?
