Telltale patterns of antineutrino emissions could reveal whether fusion reactors have been reconfigured to produce material for nuclear weapons, say physicists in the US. Although commercial fusion power plants are still some years away, members of the team at Virginia Tech and Princeton University argue that it is nevertheless useful to develop robust ways of monitoring their output now, to ensure the technology is not misused.
