Actually you can scale magnetic field stength or size to produce more power. SPARC (and later ARC) aims for the former with modern superconductor tech and is on track to potentially produce energy at Q~=11 by 2025.
- ncmncm 5y agoI don't doubt it will produce plenty of of fast neutrons. Producing useful energy without destroying the most expensive parts of your reactor in the process is a whole other project. Doing it anywhere nearly as cheaply as overwhelmingly simpler systems whose costs are still in free fall is another, probably impossible project.
