Could we archive nuclear fusion in a tokamak like a H bomb ??

If we get urani/ plotoni meltdown , it ll create
- Enegry to heat up
- Enough neutron to reach the Lawson criterion
- Enough neutron to reduce EMF between nuclears , so it get easier to attach and synthesis new nuclears

Neutrons do not help with fusion.

A hydrogen bomb is a transient phenomenon, and it is not possible to use that process in a Tokamak. Magnetically confined and controlled fusion is very different from a thermonuclear detonation.

We wish to avoid melting U and Pu fuel.
