A proliferator can easily replace the ion power production coil at the focus of the ion beam in a FF reactor with a sphere of beryllium coated U238. This will result in the production of very high quality PU239 is short order.
Proliferators are very resourceful people and much effort is required to make any reactor proliferation proof.
A FF reactor can be made proliferation proof in my opinion.
What makes you think the FF generator is any better at producing energetic alpha beams than a garden-variety accelerator? The FF’s He4+ ions are not specially energetic in the sense that you’re using; they are not at fusion temperatures once they exit the anode.
