ITER will probably be the last project on this list to actually fire. It's just too damned big and already obsolete.
I though you'd failed to mention MIT's ARC and SPARC, but I guess CFS is where that's at now. Been a few years since I checked in. The interface (blanket) is the most critical structure, even over the geometry of the field or performance of the superconductor, and theirs is the only design that really solves it. Everything else will burn out in mere months of operation.
