Pretty much irrelevant since ITER and its costs are in no way a design paradigm for a commercial fusion reactor… even a tokamak 🙂
I think that mostly sums up your overall response, so I’ll just respond to that.
Actually, what I said was that for various reasons the limits you envision do not apply to many fusion concepts and I listed some of them and briefly described one of them 🙂
Perhaps you should read through what you called “IP proposals” again… each one has their own way of dealing with what you seem to have come to believe must be an insurmountable problem.
We can discuss the details of their various solutions if you’d like.
