it wont happen.
fusion is a stellar phenominon that is powered , and contained by gravity, and sustained by a stellar mass.
we have no plausible way to contain a fusion reaction over time periods that are monitisable, personaly, I do use fusion to power my house and shop, but keep the uncontained reactor 149600000 km from my power converters, but even at this distance
electrical shielding and good grounds is the minimum to survive occasional power surges.
And this last issue is not going away, there is NO plausible containment method that will survive the inevitable surges and variations that create ultra intense concentrations of energy that will exceed any "specification"
The realy realy lucky part is that fusion will destroy the generator on loss of containment,and self extinguish, and all that gets vaporised, is money.

but, are they pear-shaped boffins?

this looks like a problem for quantum annealing, rather than digital qbits.
Maybe D-wave can help.
