Homework Statement


Describe two considerations when building a nuclear reactor that would minimize the environmental impact of the nuclear fission reaction.


Homework Equations


I could think of one. is it even correct?


The Attempt at a Solution


The reaction needs to be kept in a strong magnetic field.

How exactly would that minimize anything?
 
Is it a fission reaction or a fusion reaction?
