The main problem is that it doesn't seem to actually work; the idea was briefly hot some years back and then didn't pan out (similar to cold fusion a bit before it). This doesn't mean you can't use it, it just means you're using dated technobabble.

If you can make it work, it does imply compact gamma ray lasers. Of course, that's available standard at TL 11.
