Not to mention that since these countries will be using fuel from an international pool, there is no reason why that fuel can't be used in Gen IV reactors located in other countries. Sweden for example has sent some "spent" fuel to France for use in the Phenix reactors (I forget which one of the two).

These countries will be subject to stringent control through the IAEA safeguards program. Which means this: any hint of an enrichment facility being constructed, and the country is completely cut off from any outside help, be it nuclear physics education or uranium trading etc.

An enrichment facility capable of producing anything remotely usable for weapons is a hell of a lot harder to build than a facility used for creating nuclear fuel. The whole point of this is to keep these countries from building enrichment facilities at all.

1.12 mN is equivalent to about 0.114 g

For some interesting perspective on this acceleration courtesy of Wolfram Alpha:

0.114g is:

* 1.118 m/s^2
* 4.025 km/hr/s
* 2.501 mi/hr/s

1.12 mN = 0.114 grams is what was meant in your quote.

Why that would be relevant in this case I don't know, just pointing it out.

Correct, of course. I knew this, just not last night :) Thank you.

"Beta-rays" means electrons and positrons. These are light charged particles. Neutrons are heavy and neutral.

That being said, being in a high neutron flux for any length of time can be harmful to a human.

Of course this is handled with shielding. And I believe in any serious fusion reactor breeder blankets (not sure which material) are put in place, which absorb neutrons to generate lithium. Lithium is required for the D-T reaction.
Since I'm no expert in fusion I'm sure someone else can give a more precise answer.

I just want to make a semi-related comment on this topic. Because of the natural content of radioactive isotopes in coal, coal fired plants actually release significant amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere during normal operation. Not to mention the other nasty stuff that comes from them. Obviously with nuclear the dangerous stuff is kept contained and in solid form.

"These products emit low-level radiation. But because of regulatory differences, coal-fired power plants are allowed to release quantities of radioactive material that would provoke enormous public outcry if such amounts were released from nuclear facilities" - Radioactivity from burning coal - Brief Article

The sources talking about the relative amounts I have found seem to be biased either one way or the other, but this quote is certainly relevant. There is a fear of anything nuclear, but radiation from other sources seem to be accepted.

Mod me off-topic if you like :)

Just a few corrections. "Huge tokamak reactors" have been built before and are currently operated (see for example Joint European Torus).
Secondly, you say that as if both confinement techniques require tokamaks. This is not so. Inertial confinement makes use of lasers for the confinement, and requires no tokamak. I am not saying this is better, just that it has very different requirements.

Jack Bauer had depth? No offense, I just never saw it. To me it was just "badguy wants to hurt me/my friends/my family/my country, ill go kill him".

I am probably not a master of social convention, but Kramer makes me LMAO every time. I dont think this "understanding" has to be a requirement to like Seinfeld. And tbh I never met anyone in software who didnt like seinfeld.
