Iter was designed with the "smallest magnets available" at the time. "We will build the reactor around that size restraint". That restraint being fuckoffanddie massive.

20 years later, we have magnets that are cheaper, smaller, more powerful with lower temperature superconductivity, with other bonus properties (flexibility exc). "This is no longer a physics problem, this is an ENGINEERING problem. Here is our 'wing'".

either way a complete overlap side-view image of similar nature would be cool. something like this but for rockets
