In deuterium-tritium fusion, high-energy neutrons drive "multiplication" reactions to close the fuel cycle by producing the tritium needed to sustain operation. Making use of those neutrons to drive a multiplication reaction on mercury-198, our approach produces mercury-197 which then decays in a few days to the only stable isotope of gold.

Wouldn't it be a cosmic mindfuck if fusion becomes a thing to generate cheap electricity for bitcoin mining and one of the byproducts is gold is produced? Dual-mining?
