With indicate you probably didn't read the article with necessary attention. The fusion is safe. At least, err, safer, a lot safer than a controlled explosion the fission reactor is. In fusion, as soon the control is off, there's literally nothing to go boom. That's the problem actually, and the multi-billion question, how to make fusion last in energy efficient way on small scale (smaller than Sun that is).
 
Something huge is emerging from Uranus.

This ice giant – its atmosphere composed mainly of hydrogen and helium but with copious amounts of ‘ices’ including ammonia, methane and water – is more active than was thought. Its atmosphere exhibits bands and storms, particularly when viewed in infrared light, and its rotation is unique in the Solar System: it rotates on its side, with its poles tipped over by almost 98 degrees to the vertical (relative to the ecliptic plane). This results in some interesting atmospheric disturbances as the seasons change. Furthermore, because Uranus’ magnetic field is tilted 60 degrees away from the planet’s spin-axis, it means that the magnetic field appears to wobble as the planet rotates every 17 hours and 14 minutes, making it very difficult for scientists to decipher.

Consequently, as Voyager 2 passed close to Uranus all those years ago, one of its tasks was to carefully measure Uranus’ magnetic field. Now, Goddard’s Gina DiBraccio and Dan Gershman have reanalysed those magnetometer observations at greater fidelity than ever before, marking new data points ever 1.92 seconds. They found a hitherto unseen spike in the data, which lasted just 60 seconds: evidence for a phenomenon called a ‘plasmoid’.

A plasmoid is a bubble of plasma, or ionised atoms and molecules, enwrapped by magnetic fields that have been pinched off a planet’s magnetotail, which is the part of a world’s magnetic bubble that sweeps behind it, blown there by the solar wind.

DiBraccio and Gershman think that the plasmoid observed by Voyager 2 was mostly filled with hydrogen ions, and extended 204,000 by 400,000 kilometres in space as it moved away from the planet and Voyager 2 raced through it. What’s more, the magnetometer data indicate that the magnetic fields in the plasmoid were shaped as closed loops. These are typical in plasmoids full of material flung off a planet by its own rotation.

“Centrifugal forces take over, and the plasmoid pinches off,” says Gershman.

*sigh* I'm not sure it was centrifugal force that causes it to "pinch off" but maybe Gershman is dumbing it down for the readership? It's the lack of strength in the magnetic force to contain the plasma. Voyager would need to be on surface of the planet in order describe /observe a centrifugal force.

If your anus was squeezing one out on a merry go round ( and who hasn't? ) then the path of the liberated turd could be described by its author in terms of centrifugal force. Anyone observing would have seen the turd travelling in a straight line and ducked. If only merry go rounds had existed in Newton's time but he was 150 years off.

Sheesh, this is what lock down does for you.:cool:

If your carousel was large enough to have a gravity well, the trajectory would curve.
