Making electricity by boiling water to run a steam turbine is inherently inefficient and capital-intensive. Doing so with highly radioactive fuel that produces highly radioactive waste is not only inefficient and (even more) capital-intensive, but risky.

There is no way such technology could compete with successful Focus Fusion.
