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.

A fusion reactor operates by fusing atomic nuclei at high temperatures and pressures. The reaction self-regulates such that if any instability occurs, the reaction will cool down and cease. This passive safety feature significantly reduces the risk of an explosion compared to traditional fission reactors.

Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
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.
How would a fusion reactor differ from the nuclear reactor?
A fusion reactor generates energy by fusing atomic nuclei together, replicating the process that powers the sun, while a nuclear reactor generates energy through nuclear fission, which involves splitting atomic nuclei. Fusion reactors have the potential for greater energy output, produce less radioactive waste, and have lower risk of meltdown compared to nuclear reactors. However, fusion reactors are still in the experimental stage and face challenges in achieving sustained fusion reactions at a commercial scale.
Why can't we use Hydrogen in a Fusion Reactor to genarate our electricity?
With current technology we cannot produce a sustained fusion reaction and the experimental fusion reactors we do have use more energy than they generate.
Can a Planet explode out of nowhere?
Because of quantum mechanics, anything is possible. However, it is very, very, VERY unlikely that any planet will explode.
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
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.
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
No, a nuclear reactor cannot explode like a nuclear bomb. The design and process within a nuclear reactor are different from those in a nuclear bomb. In a reactor, the control systems prevent the conditions needed for a nuclear explosion to occur.
How does nuclear fusion spin a turbine?
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
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?
No, a nuclear reactor would not explode solely due to the absence of people. Reactor safety systems are designed to shut down automatically in case of any abnormal conditions, such as the reactor overheating or losing cooling. The presence or absence of people would not impact the reactor's physical safety mechanisms.
Is the Sun an immense fusion reactor in space?
yeah, exactly
Can you make a real ark reactor?
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
