http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_byproducts_of_nuclear_fusion So I quickly googled the byproducts of fusion and got the above link. It looks to me that you'll be left with He atoms. So what will do we do with all this helium? Make party balloons? Also, where do we get all the fuel for nuclear fusion? |

You have to remember that both the amount of fuel needed for and byproducts created by fusion power is very small compared to for instance fossil fuel burning. You could probably use the helium created for balloons but I doubt it will be profitable. The fuel most likely used for future fusion power plants is deuterium and tritium. Deuterium is easily enriched from sea water. Tritium will probably require breeding from lithium. |
