Tokamak produces radioisotopes


Recommended Posts

And yet energy is set free which could be used for things.

It's not the point here anyway.
The intent is to make neutrons.
It's a bit like some of the early nuclear reactors which produced heat (as they do) which was then dissipated and not used for anything.
The point was to make plutonium.

All something of a distraction from the impracticality of the OP's idea.
