It's the leading answer to the question "once you've achieved ignition (a burn here on earth) what do you do with ICF to generate electricity?"
We should acheive ignition (ICF) within in the lab within 24 months. It should make a pretty big splash in the news. The fussion-fission hybrid reactor technology is what you'd design a pilot plant around.
Yes, much safer, and about 2% of the byproduct comapared to a fission reactor, and that small amount of waste has a very short half-life.
