What an interesting OP!
I’m more familiar with the traditional nuclear fuel cycle where energy is produced via fission but fusion looks promising.
From my nuclear physics classes I remember the professor describing a tokamak which comes from the Russian тороидальная камера с магнитными катушками, a doughnut shaped chamber which magnetically contains the products from fusion and stores heat in the walls.
If memory serves deuterium-tritium fusion looks to be the most energetically favorable; I wonder if that’s still true.
