How’s this for a fusion powerplant design?
Take a naturally occurring deep depression (a canyon, etc), preferably in a non-water permeable region. Make it even more watertight. Layer it with insulation, and another layer of waterproofing. Keep everything as flexible and resilient as possible.
Embed lotsa heat exchangers.
Flood it.
Cover it with an insulating layer, and some concrete, dirt, etc. (leave a sturdy hatch)
Take a hydrogen bomb (The nuclear nations have lotsa these laying around, many costing a good bit of money to render inoperable). Drop it into the center of this underground pool, and make it go boom.
Use the heat exchangers to generate electricity from the big heat difference between the enclosed water and whatever outside of it.
When the temperature difference becomes too small, drop in another H-bomb.
