What does the scientist hope to do with the research on tokamak fusion reactor?

It is hoped that building increased size and improved more efficient tokamaks will obtain fusion lasting for a longer time (so far less than 1 second has been achieved). The ITER apparatus is the next stage, but it will still only be an experiment with no way of harnessing the energy produced. That will be yet another stage, but I think there is little certainty yet that it will turn out to be successful, and it will certainly take many years of work before we can get energy from controlled fusion.

What do scientist hope to achieve with the research on the Tokamak Fusion Reactor?
What is the Tokamak Fusion Reactor?
How is heat contained within a tokamak reactor?
A Tokamak reactor uses strong magnetic fields to contain the fusion reaction. While significant progress has been made in the field of fusion, temperatures high enough for continuous fusion have not been sustained for long periods of time. (Chemistry: Matter and Change; book)
What temperature is required for fusion to happen?
In tokamak reactors, approx 300 million degC
How much does a fusion reactor cost?
Nobody knows- they have not yet built a fully working fusion reactor.
What are the main advantage of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
It doesn't produce radioactive byproducts.

What limits scientists from downsizing the tokamak reactor?
Downsizing is not going to help, the largest yet, JET, has only given a very short pulse of fusion. The requirement is to upsize it, and this will be ITER. You can find this in Wikipedia.
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.
Why is a fusion reactor unlikely to explode?
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.
How hot must the core of a protostar be to begin nuclear fusion?
When the core of a protostar has reached about 10 million K, pressure within is so great that nuclear fusion of hydrogen begins, and a star is born.
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
What is the toroidal chamber used to produce fusion reactions in heated plasma?
tokamak
What temperature is required for fusion to happen?
In tokamak reactors, approx 300 million degC
What is a sentence using the word research?
(noun) It will take many more years of research to create a fusion reactor. (verb) He went to the newspaper office to research the story further.
How much does a fusion reactor cost?
Nobody knows- they have not yet built a fully working fusion reactor.
