The above list of reactions creating neutrons and ionizing radiation is exhaustive?
An the second one (11B + p → 11C + n − 2.8 MeV) is the only one you think can’t be avoided?
I’m focusing on the need for shielding, not byproducts that affect maintenance. To me this is a bigger issue affecting my investment in DPF research.
The subject of radiation has been debated many times in the Forum, which you can easily do a search for. The upshot is that with pb11 the DPF is going to be the cleanest burning fusion generator out there and will be producing prodigious amounts of power. All with a very compact footprint. What more do you need? What more do you think is really possible with any other design?
I think your investment dollars would be well rewarded in DPF research.
