Is there a limit to the fusion of elements?

The new state of material and elements can be made by shooting ions against each other. The plus and minus polar ions could make the fusion of the nuclei possible in the lower energy levels, but as we know that this kind of research serving only theoretical ideas. The thing is that the lifetime of the extremely heavy isotopes and elements is extremely short.

But those extremely highly radioactive isotopes, which have a lifetime of one-millionth second might cause the question. What is the final isotope or element? Is there some kind of limit in the isotopes, what we can create by using fusion? The chemical quality of the super heavy particle is a mystery. But the fact is that the super heavy elements could make it possible to make the new and lightweight nuclear reactors.

But the thing is that there must solve some kind of technical problems for making those reactors in work. The biggest problem is how to store the superheavy element, what is existed about microsecond? And another thing is how to make those elements? The production price of the super heavy isotopes is extremely high. But the thing that makes those elements very attractive is that there is the possibility to make the synthetic, very radioactive element, which splits into two non-radioactive atoms.

But nobody knows how to make that thing in real life. If we want to store the highly radioactive isotopes that way that those isotopes exist after a couple of seconds, we can store that material in extreme cold storage. Also, the isotope can be accelerated by using a particle accelerator, and the radioactive material must not touch the wall of the accelerator. There is a possibility that the futuristic spacecraft would use some super heavy elements as fuel or propellant.

In some ideas, the extremely high radioactive Element 118 Oganesson what is the heaviest known element what is the noble gas will drive in the middle of the magnetic field, and then the laser-rays will target that point. That thing would turn the spontaneous fission faster, and the magnetic accelerators can accelerate the alpha-particles, which would make it possible to drive the spacecraft at a very high speed.

But the problem is that oganesson has been produced only a couple of atoms. So using this kind of element as the fuel requires the systems, which are not produced yet. But maybe in the distant future, the flow of liquid oganesson would be driven to the rocket engine, where the laser ray will make fission to that system, and then the ion accelerators will push alpha particles backward from the engines. Even if oganesson is the last produced element, elements number 119 (ununennium or eka-francium)and 120 (unbinilium or eka-radium)  are predicted and their electron structure is calculated. But those elements are not yet produced.
