Cool I met the author at a conference, their work was amazing! So high neutron flux is related to the fact that fusion neutrons are extremely faster than fission ones, and thus since the flux is dependent on the velocity of the neutron the flux in iter is very high. However, the net number of neutrons in the reactor is very small
