yeah if something gets past the no doubt immense safety features it would be totally horrible and catastrophic, but if we can push this through and get it right, it could solve a huge amount of the worlds energy problems, so more power to them, I would rather focus on that than get paranoid about it.
Although it is being run by the French...
...actually...
...STOP THE FUSION! STOP IT!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!

"In the core of the Sun, huge gravitational pressure allows this to happen at temperatures of around 10 million degrees Celsius. At the much lower pressure that is possible on Earth, temperatures to produce fusion need to be much higher - above 100 million degrees Celsius."
100 million degrees!!!!! u must be fucking kidding me, is that really possible?
