Here is the link to the Fusion Power Associates. They have good presentation notes from conferences giving the latest developments and issues: http://fusionpower.org/ Also, an alternative to the plutonium breeder is the thorium reactor. It uses water for the coolant and is more proliferation resistant. The tradeoff is that it would have a lower breeding ratio. Shippingport operated with a thorium core from 1977-1982, so there is operating experience with the design. I noticed that fusion did not have a weblink.
