ITER is considered safe. It is easy to stop a fusion reaction, and difficult (so far) to sustain it. The byproduct (helium) is essentially harmless, and can be freely vented into the atmosphere in the event of a catastrophe with little risk to humans, plants, or animals. Concentrations of the gas in an enclosed area could lead to asphyxiation, but the gas itself is light and would readily escape into the atmosphere.

How does energy get from a power plant to a house?
fusion power
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
How do you use fission and fusion in a nuclear power plant?
We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.
What is the difference between the sun's energy and a nuclear power plant?
the sun is powered by fusion, the power plant by fission
Is nuclear power plant as dangerous as nuclear weapons?
No. Properly engineered nuclear power plants fail safe.

Is nuclear fission safe?
It is inherently dangerous to living beings because it generates a great amount of radioactivity. However it can be made safe by thorough design and engineering, and careful operation. The principle has to be to contain the radioactivity, and if this is done then it becomes safe.
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
It is possible to construct fusion-fission hybrid power plant?
A fusion-fission hybrid power plant is now being researched at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; see https://lasers.llnl.gov/missions/energy_for_the_future/life.
Is it safe to work at a nuclear power plant?
not really because a power plant is very dangerous and it can harm you.
Is it safe to work or live in the nuclear power plant?
obviously not
Is it safe to rebuild a retired nuclear power plant?
Well... when you rebuild you will normally fix problems, update the plant, and thereby making it safe...
Is it safe to enter in a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear power plant is safe if it's designed on the most advanced safety measures. Its accurate and permanent maintenance issues are essential to keep any nuclear power plant working safely. I think visitors are not allowed in Nuclear Power Plants.
Is biomass safe or deadly?
Safe enough. You have to burn it in a power plant, but it doesn't add to global warming.
