Yes. This is my layman's understanding - you can't get runaway fusion, so no meltdowns; the fusion product (helium) is not radioactive. They do produce neutrons that makes the reactor itself radioactive, and use a radioactive component in the fuel (tritium) but loses its radioactivity quite quickly, unlike fission products.
F*** yeah, now do space.
Is radioactivity from fusion less damaging than from fission?
