If it is a tokamak as is likely, the chamber will be under vacuum, unlike a pressurised water reactor which has a pressure vessel at high pressure. However a fully engineered design does not exist yet so what the plant to absorb the reaction's heat will look like is unknown.

Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
None of the planets is a fusion reactor. The sun is a fusion reactor but it is not a planet.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
No place, we have not yet determined how to make a fusion reactor. Only fusion bombs.
Why do scientists want to build a nuclear fusion reactor?
The expectation is that fusion reactors will provide large amounts of energy, and that they will be relatively environmentally-friendly.
What is a fusion reaction also known as?
Since they do not exist yet I do not believe they have any other names. Fusion does exist in nature so a sun or star could be considered a fusion reactor.
How would a fusion reactor differ from the nuclear reactor?
A fusion reactor is a type of nuclear reactor, one which fuses hydrogen atoms into helium atoms, as opposed to a fission reactor (by far the dominant source, and the only one used to commericaly generate power), which spilts uranium or plutonium atoms (mostly these two). Both use these reactions to generate heat, turning water to steam which then drives and turbine, which in turn drives a generator, creating electricity.
Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
None of the planets is a fusion reactor. The sun is a fusion reactor but it is not a planet.
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
What do scientist hope to achieve with the research on the Tokamak Fusion Reactor?
What is the Tokamak Fusion Reactor?
How much does a fusion reactor cost?
Nobody knows- they have not yet built a fully working fusion reactor.
What would be the source of fuel required by a fusion reactor?
Deutrium and tritium are needed as fuel in fusion reactor.
Is a fusion reactor a time machine?
No
Is fusion controllable as fission is reactor?
no
Can portugal explode?
It is unlikely that section of content will explode.
How does nuclear fusion spin a turbine?
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
What are the main advantage of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
It doesn't produce radioactive byproducts.
What is better solar energy fission reactor or fusion reactor?
solar is a billion times better.
Would a nuclear reactor explode if there were no people?
Never ever
