Milton Rothman, Fusion, published in Stellar 1. It's, uh, not great
but it is about fusion.

The Jupiter Theft has an early subplot about a boron-11 fusion plant,
whose operation is complicated by the fact it's a joint project between
the US and China, both of which want to keep aspects of how their
side of the plant works.

David Weber makes a clear choice that Fusion bottles are huge in his
space ships in the Honorverse. He also has Fission reactors that are
much smaller but not as safe.

That's the one where the author doesn't understand how drinking straws
work, right?

No, this is the one where he didn't understand relativity. I think you
are thinking of his The Jovian.

His fault for writing two novels with such similar titles.
