Decommissioning a Fusion Plant

Taking a plant apart at end of life — easier than fission, with mostly short-lived waste.

Waste

Mostly short-lived

At end of life, a fusion plant's activated structure decays far faster than fission waste; with low-activation materials, most of it reaches clearance levels within decades. Decommissioning is a manageable, planned process rather than a millennia-long liability.

It is part of the honest lifecycle picture.
