From Les Davies
There are concerns that if Japan hosts ITER, it could have the potential to build fusion bombs because of the technology that will be needed to handle tritium (7 February, p 7).
If this is true, then once the technology is developed, any country with fusion technology will be able to develop fusion bombs. The inevitable conclusion is that only those countries that already have fusion bombs should be allowed to operate fusion power. How, then, will this clean technology benefit the environment if only a very limited number of countries can use it?
