And not only extremely complex, but also very large. Fusion reactors have terrible power density compared to fission reactors. Complex + large = very expensive.
These failings have been known for 35 years or more, and yet still they're largely ignored. If there is a thing called "pathological technology" (in analogy with pathological science) then fusion must qualify.
