And with the energy extraction we are discussing here, we are still in 30% max efficiency range. Using Fusion to boil water, strikes me as underkill. We might be better off using neutron absorbers that are capable of very high temperature operation.. say above 1500C, to bring up the Carnot efficiency of the end process to a respectable level.
