ITER was mentioned several times in the article. I am guessing that's what you meant by "far more developed fusion reactor in France", even though "far more developed" could be argued since it's still under heavy construction and has not started operation, and thus has produced no results as of yet. D-T operations are scheduled for 2035, and it will most certainly miss that target. Plus, it's still an experimental reactor and meant to be a proof of concept. DEMO, a commercial reactor, would then be designed and constructed using the learnings of ITER (if it turns out feasible, which is unproven at this point).
