>>58156611) The most prominent usage of magnetic monopoles, fusion reactions are used to catalyze a plasma medium containing monopoles into an energy state where the nuclei directly converts into mesons and photons, in which the process is self-sustaining. It is more alike to fission than fusion, however, as runaway reactions and critical mass are features that must be safeguarded against. One of the more interesting applications of the Grand Unified Theory of particle physics, monopoles can be produced by merging together skyrmions. When a monopole reaches a sufficient mass, it can be collided with another monopole or target of similar mass to produce more monopoles as well as a variety of exotic particles, using a rather modest (10 km) particle accelerator for the job.
