Absolutely incorrect. Neutron activation will produce more waste in volume than fission, but without the long lived fission products that are really nasty. We don't really have a plan yet on HOW we're going to circulate lithium and recapture tritium and what the waste from that will look like, but we do know it will create a significant amount of waste.
Thank you. While in the context of fission both the risk and the amount of waste seem to be much lower and waste can probably be managed by fission related protocols, my comment was too grossly wrong, so I just deleted it.
