I didn't say it could cause "a fission-type accident or nuclear meltdown".

It can cause something entirely different: Escaping tritium plasma. For example when the magnetic containment field fails. The plasma will still be hot and radioactive; lighter than air; able to penetrate every component of the reactor.

It can also slowly leak if not perfectly adjusted.

Would you care to share a single reputable source, or are these your own speculations on a technology that all the experts are saying is safe?

You are a moron.

@lurch@sh.itjust.works

Can you provide a reputable source for these claims? Otherwise I'll delete the OG comment and its replies. There's no point in leaving up misinformation.
