To name one, as a starter you may educate yourself about neutron flux and its consequences for commercial operations of nuclear plants. And insulting out of ignorance doesn't make you look smarter.

The link you provided states neutron flux occurs in fission, not fusion reactors.

I'm just dropping in and didn't really read the rest of the back and forth between you two. But fusion and fission reactors result in neutron Flux. In fission energy and neutrons are released when atoms of fissile material in the fuel matrix split apart. In fusion reactions, hydrogen atoms fuse into helium, and energy and a neutron are released. When there are neutrons passing through a measure of space, you have a Flux. And high energy neutron Flux can activate certain materials when they pass through said Flux

Well, if you follow the link about neutron radiation it says

> Neutrons may be emitted from nuclear fusion or nuclear fission,

You really think you are the informed person here capable to research such a complex topic?

Different fusion reactions produce different fusion byproducts. Some produce neutrons protons or gamma rays or alpha particles. Deuterium tritium fusion is just a stepping stone to something bigger

This is a known process that scientists are aware of, perhaps you could elaborate on the supposed threat?
