When I say “fake fireplace”, I mean something like those structures fueled by fossil methane that produce flame and heat but obviously don’t burn actual wood

    True, but I was specifically talking about nuclear fusion, which would entail helium/hydrogen plasma rather than fissionable material.

      Do you expect to keep million degree hot plasma in your fireplace?

        It’d heat up the room, though. And the next couple of rooms. Or houses.

        No, that still probably wouldn’t work out, as the other comments have pointed out. Just clarifying that the dangerous aspects of what I asked wouldn’t involve uranium in particular.
