You’re not looking at the entire cost. What are the end of life procedures when fuel is exhausted?

That's another plus! If you ever get to the end of the fusion reactor's life (which is not very likely), it's literally end of life for you (and everyone else who might still be around) too, so no need to worry about exhausted fuel anymore...

I can say the same thing about my basement fission reactor.
