Going by the spellcard names: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Subterranean_Animism:_Stage_6_Spell_Cards

#145 is fission, while #155, #156, #146 and the flares may be either, with the first three IMO leaning towards fission.

Most forms of fusion produces enormous amounts of neutron radiation. This is used in boosted warhead designs, where you basically put some tritium next to a fission bomb. The small amount of fusion you get doesn't release any amount of energy worth mentioning compared to the fission, but the neutrons generated help the fission reaction along, resulting in a much greater yield, and a more efficient use of the (often horrendously expensive) fission fuel.

So while a fusion reactor would generate a lot less radioactive waste than a fission reactor, they would still require similar amounts of shielding while in use.

This is also one way in which we can know that the original "cold fusion" hype was in error, as those who "discovered" would have been killed pretty much outright by the neutron radiation had things worked as advertised.
