  1. All your tokamak negatives focus on ITER (which admitedly at this point is about 10 years obsolete and pretty stupid in several aspects). MIT has a better angle on pretty much every technology ITER was supposed to advance... thier SPARC reactor has almost none of the drawbacks you list (sure it still uses lithium and bereillium but it is also much smaller for hte same output.... and uses a molten salt rather than solid blanket).

  2. SPARC is also a fraction of the size of ITER with similar capability... as far as Tokamaks go ITER is obsolete before it even goes online by about 10 years.
