it's power plant is just different
No, the reactor was not a fusion one
It was a fission one
Fusion reactors are in their infancy
Fusion reactor is futuretech lads
remember that
Do not make a mistake of underestimating Russia or China
Yes
That mistake will cost ya
ah, fusion reactors are not yet proven feasible
What we have is Fission
they could just be perpetual motion machines when trying such a thing without a massive gravity well
Russia has the smallest functioning nuclear reactor cooled by molten lead
They did their homework
well that is a rather old design even
Perpetual motion machines don't work
Irrelevant
i know this; and a fusion reactor might be one
Nukes are not perpetual, they are just an exceptionally long lasting energy source
because no net output as of yet....
No energy source lasts forever
Perpetual motion machines are impossible cause friction on a planetary level, and there is also friction in space because Space isn't a vacuum devoid of gravity
no shit sherlock

Thermodynamics called, it said you need an award for being mr obvious
nuclear fusion might also be infeasible in terms of getting more out than you put in
@ManAnimal its not actaully
ITER split even on input-output in 2008
it's quite feasible within this century even
yes, quite actually; science is easy; engineering i hard
That's about the best the fusion got so far
@SideTracker it's definitely not doable
yes, so stil qualifies as 'perpetual motion'
Ein >= Eout
No
It won't last forever
doable actually given how we are getting increasingly advanced with robotics and you dont need a human to build a reactor
Ehhhh
Not really
you can have a human guide it
but you dont need him to build it
