RE: A: What are the different ways of harnessing fusion energy on Earth?

The wall is about 10 cm thick. Maybe a bit more but not by much.

So the walls are conductive. This is because electrical isolators are also thernal isolators, because the mechanism of conductance is governed by electron mobility in both cases. If an isolator would be used not enough heat transfer would occur to effectively heat the water that will be used in the electricity generation.
