Just one of the economic impossibilities of fusion, is that tritium is a byproduct of fission reactors.
Not that I understand what they are doing or what their design is, but they seem to be doing a lot of fission/breeding applications without touting any energy production benefits. "Fusion is just interesting plasma physics experiments without any regard to economic practicalities"
