      If you follow the health and safety of the lab or team you work in, the danger is kept to a minimum. Talking more psychophysically, I don’t think the science itself is ever dangerous, but it is the people / politicians that abuse them that is dangerous! Nuclear fusion isn’t inherently dangerous, but only when politicians asked for it to be weaponised it became the bomb. The fuel from fusion could save our planet, not kill it.
