cost range is populated only by more innovative concepts, ranging from
advanced tokamaks with advanced materials to other connement concepts
that involve more unknowns than conventional (well-demonstrated) toka-
maks, which are predicted to occupy the higher cost range. Researchers are
achieving some success in reducing the costs with innovative concepts, by
simplifying old concepts or devising cheaper manufacturing techniques to

with uncertainties, even ...
