Now tell me, how they are going to handle these pesky 14 MeV neutrons?
There will be an immense corrosion of reactor walls. very frequent maintenance and associated costs etc.This problem is going to be explored in the IFMIF project. IFMIF-DONES is currently in the engineering design phase.
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility, also known as IFMIF, is a projected material testing facility in which candidate materials for the use in an energy producing fusion reactor can be fully qualified. IFMIF will be an accelerator-driven neutron source producing a high intensity fast neutron flux with a spectrum similar to that expected at the first wall of a fusion reactor using a deuterium-lithium nuclear reaction.
