There's an article in the on-line Washington Post titled: Miniature nuclear reactors might be a safe, efficient source of power by Brian Palmer, Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010. It's all about fission reactors making a comeback.

In the comments section, there were 2 or 3 comments about fusion, and no fusion mentioned other than ITER. Naturally, I had to add a comment. I cited work at EMC2, Lawrenceville, and Tri-Alpha; and suggested that increased funding in this area might help us evaluate viability sooner rather than later.
