Funny you should mention that, because fusion plants are pretty much inherently safe from that point of view. From wiki:

>Runaway reactions cannot occur in a fusion reactor. The plasma is burnt at optimal conditions, and any significant change will simply quench the reactions. The reaction process is so delicate that this level of safety is inherent.

Oh yeah. "Safe, clean, too cheap to meter."
