I am all in favor of scientific research. But from what I see in the article, the nuclear reactions they hope to harness with it are the same ultra-high-energy fusion reactions--which, from what we observe of the universe, seem to be the only possible ones--which spit gamma rays and energetic neutrons like a witch's curse. X-ray spallation from the neutrons alone would be more than sufficient to kill any imaginable control circuitry. And it still doesn't solve the problem of how you get steam to turn the turbines, nor prevent the neutrons from turning the shielding and everything around them radioactive.
