The idea of having many small fusion reactors is quite interesting. I never thought about it and i would normally dismiss it since building a big one is cheaper than building many little ones. However, SpaceX and their 9-engine Falcon rocket teach us a different story. Sometimes building smaller yet complicated power plants is cheaper than building fewer ones but bigger.

Would be great to know more about the economics behind a multi reactor power plant.
