It is not entirely aneutronic, and the large Coulomb barrier makes it probably unrealistic for current and foreseeable magnetic confinement devices.
-
More likely we'll see progress in aneutronic fusion.
-
In my opinion, fusion methods that use electrostatic acceleration, as aneutronic reactor, has a more real chance of achieving a net gain without leaving radioactive waste.

Huh? Solar, wind, nuclear (hopefully we'll have figured out aneutronic fusion so it's ultra clean), hydro?
-
Given that the other likely candidates for power resources like solar, tidal and wind and of course fusion (Polywell and dense plasma focus) which is aiming for an aneutronic fuel cycle (proton Boran-11 I think it was), I think we’re going to want to develop the MSR first … if only to efficiently get away from oil and messier forms of nuclear power.
