Lftr is supposed to be in the high nineties allegedly of fuel consumption %.

And the gas/liquid nature means separation and processing is a lot more viable

Contrast that with solid fuel rods using like 20% of its fuel, and that only of the fissile uranium isotopes. The the waste is locked in a solid form of the spent fuel rods

I'll take lftr which (theoretically) is so much cleaner.

Fusion isnt without waste, the high speed neutrons irradiate/transmute the reactor

Reducing waste without a long term (multigenerational) plan does not solve the waste problem ;)
