A new economy of scale for small fusion reactor concepts

Description

Mass production of small fusion units and predicted shorter construction times can partially overcome the traditional higher costs ($/kWe) associated with small capacity units. Small fusion units bear some similarity to the combustion gas turbine which has a low capital cost despite its small size (-100 MWe)
