      I’m guessing he’s talking about a fusion reactor that produces more power than it consumes (a “positive power coefficient”).

          If that’s really what @givesomefucks meant, then I have no idea what the hell a “positive power co-efficience” is (other than a made-up/misspelled word).

          …maybe a breeder reactor?

      They might be referring to the void coefficient, but that’s just one part of reactor safety.
