Colin is writing a story in which a spy damages a fusion nuclear reactor, the reaction runs out of control, and the reactor explodes like a fusion bomb. Why is his idea for the story unlikely to be accurate? The reaction would quickly stop once the temperature and pressure dropped. The reaction would stop soon after the source of neutrons was removed. A working fusion nuclear reactor does not exist. Fission, not fusion, is used in bombs.
