If the idea that the most electronegative element-- flourine would
interfer
with hydrogen and stall it from fusing properly that the temperature
can
be lowered steadily causing more loss of fusion.

What part of "plasma" do you not understand? How many electrons do you
think either hydrogen or fluorine nucleii retain at 25 million degrees,
at
the core, where fusion takes place? Fusion is not occurring where
electronegativity even factors in...

I am not so sure that all chemistry is insignificant in plasma physics.

then you know very little about plasma physics, particularly at the
temperatures we are talking about here.

One test would be to detonate a fusion bomb that is containing iodine,
fluorine and see if it is inconsequental.

how, exactly, do you think that would test anything?
