>What do you mean by this? Economically efficient? No. In terms of surplus energy of the reaction? No. In terms of energy released per particle? I'd need to look up

Fusion is significantly more efficient in terms of energy produced per unit mass, which might be what he was referring to. It's also more efficient in terms of non-renewable resources consumed (at least potentially, depending on the source of the power used to induce fusion.)

This is assuming, of course, that we're specifically comparing the fission of U-235 to D-T fusion. Those are far from being the only fission or fusion reactions and I have no idea how all of them compare.
