It's too late.
Korea has made enough progress in fusion research with their KSTAR fusion reactor to bypass ITER test runs and will build the DEMO prototype fusion powerplant with the target commercialization date of 2040s.
Originally it was thought that ITER test runs were needed to gather data for prototype commercial fusion reactor, but Koreans were getting necessary data with KSTAR so they can skip ITER runs now and go straight to DEMO stage.
Fusion power will finally become commercial in our lifetime.

That's a pipe dream and waste of resources.

This is the future direction of nuclear power. It is not the only energy generation option and it is not the only one trying to develop better safer alternatives to coal and gas generation. There is hardly and logical reason to make negative assumptions at this stage of research and development.
Good that Japan has teamed up to split costs and share results with others on future technology.

Bigger is better. Small is chosen to appease the fear mongerers. But small doesn’t scale.
