The Story
This is one of three questions set in the exact same place, so bear with me here. Twenty years after the fall of the State and the Overseers, about thirty since the phase-gate to Ilus was opened, we follow a technician who is hired by the Sequoia R&D Alliance to work at this lab, Kitsuki. (Mostly as a chance to get away from the political mess that is earth after the fall.)
The inciting event is a malfunction of the fusion reactor, which eventually turns out to be sabotage, and frees the Typhon and Kit infected with a retrovirus that is part of the Keidran genetics program. And gets turned fluffy.
The Question
As a generalization, how good would fusion reactor be as a bomb? If you were to watch the TV incarnation of The Expanse, you'd be surprised by the bang the Donnager made when Yao scuttled it. Is that even close to realistic? I would assume that no, you need a proper bomb to make a proper explosion.
But as a generalization, looking at what a possible future ICF reactor does and how, could you even try to weaponize or sabotage it? Or should the saboteurs of the labs enormous power source (for the massive amount of quantum computers) be better off just getting a nuclear warhead down there and blowing the place the old fashion way.
Basically, if I wanted a boom, what do I do.
