Abstract
Some scientists are calling the nuclear power plants source of energy as 100 percent renewable energy and off course environmentalists arguably are saying that is wrong approach, just because in the core of these plants there exist Uranium or Plutonium as fuel when we are talking about fission type nuclear power plants that they exist in grid today and producing electricity to the net. However, on the other side of spectrum where, researchers and scientist at national laboratories and universities around the globe that are working toward fusion program to achieve a breakeven are passionately argue that nuclear power plants of fusion type are totally clean so long as the source of energy come in form of two hydrogen isotopes such as Deuterium (D) and Tritium (T) as source of fusion reaction and driving energy from it. This is a dream that is too far away from reality of today's need and demand for electricity, yet is not out of scope of near future. Physics of Plasma for driving energy via Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) or Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF) agree with such innovative approaches.
