There is a hydrogen fusion reaction that releases beta particles, i.e., electrons. This could be used to produce electricity directly without boiling water, but I think the heat output would be such that you could also boil water for more electricity.
As someone who works in the field, that sounds like something I’d pitch to shareholders when I’m trying to steal their money, not when I’m trying to fuse particles.
