I think we're pretty close, and it should be achieved in most of our lifetimes. But what is to be done with all the helium that it will produce? I say steampunk zeppelins for transportation :P
You obviously didn't read my posts.
Nuclear fusion's waste is far less dangerous than fission's, and stays radioactive for not nearly as long.
It creates a stuff load of Helium (Or Hydrogen, can't remember)
If you relate it to post-blast conditions after about 3 months. It is not as radioactive because it decomposes slower, hence radio-
activity.
Electrolysis is fission I thought, with hydrogen and helium splitting out of a compound?
Electrolysis is putting a substance under conditions with large amounts of electricity, another chemical process. For instance, in an exploding stick of dynamite, the energy is released in a blast of energy. The energy flows out of the system(dynamite) and into the surroundings, forming simpler compounds. Electrolysis works in the opposite direction, using relatively large amounts of energy to form simple components into more complex compounds. Fusion works on a larger scale, combining atoms to eachother. In the case of fusion, however, it releases large amounts of energy because the Strong Force - a very strong binding force in the nuclei of an atom, is violated.
Fallout is fiction, and does not accurately explain the real effects.
It is likely never going to be achievable.
