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.
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.
The expectation is that fusion reactors will provide large amounts of energy, and that they will be relatively environmentally-friendly.
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.
With current technology we cannot produce a sustained fusion reaction and the experimental fusion reactors we do have use more energy than they generate.
Because of quantum mechanics, anything is possible. However, it is very, very, VERY unlikely that any planet will explode.
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction

Deutrium and tritium are needed as fuel in fusion reactor.
no
No
It is unlikely that section of content will explode.
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
solar is a billion times better.
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
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.
yeah, exactly
