You can even build a fusion reactor for yourself, right at home. It's not the easiest thing in the world, or the cheapest, but it's possible for someone as well educated, funded, and connected as Heiwa is to make this and rejoice in the wonders of nuclear fusion.

It's also another great diversion from Heiwa, completely off topic.
Yes, it is off topic but to start fusion you have to heat up the machine and then it melts = no fusion!!! Just confusion.
Says who? You? You've already demonstrated you know next to nothing. The French reactor didn't melt. In fact, they have a solution:
No materials exist that can withstand direct contact with such heat. So, to achieve fusion in a lab, scientists have devised a solution in which a super-heated gas, or plasma, is held inside a doughnut-shaped magnetic field.
Try and get with the 21st century. You're stuck in about 1943.
The French reactor down the road from me is not yet ready in spite of enormous cost and time overruns. I follow it since many years. And that the plasma can protect the reactor from melting is yet to be proven in a lab and full scale. It is the suggested that the temperature will be >1 000 000C in the plasma and that that heat shall in turn heat up water to high pressure steam in a heat exchanger. Sounds optimistic.
It is optimistic, especially on a large scale. But it was done in a lab, which you said couldn’t happen. But it did. And it didn’t melt like you claimed. From the article:
Many technical challenges remain, however. In Europe, these challenges are being worked on by the Eurofusion consortium, which comprises some 5,000 science and engineering experts from across the EU, Switzerland and Ukraine.
"It's a landmark because they demonstrated stability of the plasma over five seconds. That doesn't sound very long, but on a nuclear timescale, it's a very, very long time indeed. And it's very easy then to go from five seconds to five minutes, or five hours, or even longer."
In other words, we’re probably a couple of generations away from actual large scale applications. But that doesn’t mean something doesn’t exist or can’t be done. As evidenced here, it can be done and has been done.
I was not talking about the Eurofusion consortium at CEA Cadarache Centre but the ITER next door. None of them has created high heat in a plasma that has been converted to steam and energy. ITER is just a joke! It will never work. It is pure fraud.
The Institute for Magnetic Fusion Research (Institut de Recherche sur la Fusion par confinement Magnétique, IRFM) is one of the 15 Institutes that make up the Fundamental Research Division in the CEA (Direction de la Recherche Fondamentale, DRF). For almost 60 years, its responsibility has been to carry out research on thermonuclear magnetically-confined fusion at the CEA in association with the Euratom Fusion Programme. Since the beginning of the Tore Supra programme in the late 80s, it has been located at the CEA Research Centre of Cadarache in the department of the Bouches-du-Rhône. To fulfill its missions, IRFM gathers three departments (and within them, groups), with various objectives expanding from engineering to physics to platform operation.

The successful fission experiment was performed at the JET lab in England:
The Joint European Torus (JET), sited at Culham in Oxfordshire, has been pioneering this fusion approach for nearly 40 years.
I don’t know what it has to do with your France labs other than they are all a part of the consortium.
In any case, you're wrong. The JET lab got to 5 seconds, didn’t melt. If you have an issue with some French lab, I don’t care. It’s irrelevant.
The Joint European Torus (JET) has not been able to to do any fusion and fission work of value ever!
Says who?
The Joint European Torus (JET) itself. Check its website.
I just checked:
1978 JET construction starts
1983 First plasma in JET
1991 First experiments with tritium
1997 High performance full deuterium-tritium experiments. JET achieves world record fusion power of 16.1 MW.
2009/10 JET installs a new beryllium/tungsten plasma facing wall to test this configuration for ITER.
2019/20 Preparations well advanced for new deuterium-tritium experiments, designed to sustain high fusion performance for longer periods.
2022 Landmark results from EUROfusion scientists and engineers at world-leading UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Oxford - Record-breaking 59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy demonstrates powerplant potential and strengthens case for ITER
