In an ion-based fusion reactor, the system can shoot ions and anions against each other by using the ion cannons that are shooting ions from different sides. Or the magnetic plates can pull ions and anions together from above and below. Then the system can shoot a laser ray to those ions. Theoretically is possible to create a magnetic field that is powerful enough that it can form a fusion reactor.
The future fusion reactor can use ions for making fusion. The problem is how to handle the plasma at extremely high temperatures. In those temperatures, the heat of the plasma brakes the entirety.
Along with monopolar ions will push deuterium and tritium away from each other. The magnetic field pushes those ions together, but the problem is that when the magnetic press ends radiation with magnetic repel will push those particles away from each other.
The problem is that when fusion starts the energy level in the fusion material that rotates in the reactor will expand. The rising energy in fusion material will win the magnetic field. And that thing rips the ring of the fusion material in pieces. One of the answers could be an injection of the opposite polar ions in the plasma. That thing could help to keep the fusion material in one entirety.
The problem with fusion reactors is the heat. The system requires billions of degrees of celsius. And if there is a leak in the fusion reactor that plasma can cause big damage around the plant.
One version that can answer the problem is the fusion reactor that orbits the Earth. The non-gravitational environment makes it easier to handle plasma. And if the reactor is outside the atmosphere. That helps to handle lithium hydride which is the key compound to creating lithium deuteride. Lithium deuteride is one of the most important fuels in the fusion stages of hydrogen bombs.
The creation of lithium-deuteride is the process where the radiation will turn lithium hydride into lithium deuteride. Then another energy impulse drives those components back together. In fusion weapons, the used lithium isotope is lithium 7. Normally natural lithium is lithium 3. The problem is that lithium hydride is very highly inflammable.

Lithium deuteride (From Wikipedia)
Lithium deuteride, in the form of lithium-7 deuteride (7Li2H or 7LiD), is a good moderator for nuclear reactors, because deuterium (2H or D) has a lower neutron absorption cross-section than ordinary hydrogen or protium (1H) does, and the cross-section for 7Li is also low, decreasing the absorption of neutrons in a reactor. 7Li is preferred for a moderator because it has a lower neutron capture cross-section, and it also forms less tritium (3H or T) under bombardment with neutrons.
The corresponding lithium-6 deuteride (6Li2H or 6LiD) is the primary fusion fuel in thermonuclear weapons. In hydrogen warheads of the Teller–Ulam design, a nuclear fission trigger explodes to heat and compress the lithium-6 deuteride, and to bombard the 6LiD with neutrons to produce tritium in an exothermic reaction:
6LiD + n → 4He + T + D
The deuterium and tritium then fuse to produce helium, one neutron, and 17.59 MeV of free energy in the form of gamma rays, kinetic energy, etc. Helium is an inert byproduct.
Before the Castle Bravo nuclear weapons test in 1954, it was thought that only the less common isotope 6Li would breed tritium when struck with fast neutrons. The Castle Bravo test showed (accidentally) that the more plentiful 7Li also does so under extreme conditions, albeit by an endothermic reaction. (Wikipedia/Lithium Hydride)

But the leak in the orbital reactor causes a situation that plasma with a very high energy level will release into the orbital trajectory. And that plasma will destroy satellites.
That kind of reactor can answer the problems of heat. But this kind of fusion-based energy satellite is one of the most dangerous things in the world.
Fusion energy is used for a long time in hydrogen bombs. The orbiting fusion reactor turns into a hydrogen bomb very easily. One of the most dangerous versions of the fusion systems is the thing where lasers will target the subcritical uranium or plutonium plates. Then that energy causes fission in those plates.
That energy impulse pushes fusion material from both sides. The laser system can use straight sunlight for making the laser ray. The mirror system will conduct sunlight to the laser element. And then the laser will aim at the fusion system. The fact is that increasing the temperature in subcritical fission material is enough. So the launch of the hydrogen bomb can happen by using parabolic mirrors.
