Reply to comment by graebot in How do fusion scientists expect to produce enough Tritium to sustain D-T fusion (see text)? by DanTheTerrible

No, these are not like the fission chain reactions used in fission reactors. There's no way for that kind of thing to happen in this situation.

I don't know what you think those statements have to do with my comment. The question was whether the tritium-breeding reactions can cause a chain reaction, and the answer to that is no.

RBMK fission reactors are completely different things than what we're talking about here. There's plenty of information available on what caused the Chernobyl accident, none of which is relevant to this conversation.
