    This is apples to oranges. Fusion is not the same as fission. We simply don’t know the economics of a viable fusion reactor.

    However, we do know fissions cost is heavily driven by safety and regulation. It is very reasonable to assume that fusion’s requirements in this area are distinctly smaller.
