You people should look up accelerator driven nuclear reactors, this is what a DPF could do, if DPF do not manage to become has energy positive as theory suggest then as a neutron generator for a sub-critical reactor they could make nuclear fission cheaper, safer and cleaner, sure it won’t be a great as a true fusion economy but it may be a good backup plan if DPF fails to meet it mark, even if DPF reaches practical net positive energy with aneutriatic fusion, neutratic fusion with DPF would still be greatly usefull in a accelerator driven sub-critical reactor as a means of destroying nuclear waste.

You still have the fission/heat engine to build out, and compared to building more FF reactors it’s throwing away money. The fission waste is only a problem because of politics and ignorance.

Drop it on a subduction seam under the ocean and let geology recycle it for a few million years.

that IF DPF works as desired, if not energy multiplication from fission of waste and of course heat engines will be needed to achieve energy positive function. I would argee deep sea storage is a great option in theory but politically it a nightmare all the environmental groups would have a orgasm of outrage, you could more easily convince them with destroying nuclear waste then storing it where it could leak out (no matter how unlikely that is, they will cry murder over it)
