I was under the impression that the radioactivity produced in the materials used for fusion would last decades, whereas that produced in materials used for fission, lasts hundreds or many thousands of years. Clearly the former situation is preferable from a waste manangement point of view to the latter. The money saved on safe storage of fission over fusion waste would dwarf that invested in the prototype fission reactor in the first place, so it's a valid economic and technological objective.
