    Oh yeah, that would definitely increase the insurance on the space ship.

    Niven had fusion reactors which could become thermonuclear weapons
    by just removing some control mechanism.

    From an engineering perspective, that makes very little sense indeed - confinement for a sustained nuclear reaction initiating a nuclear
    explosion via neutrons emitted from a primary fission explosion are
    very different things indeed.
