Not sure if this is what you want, but here goes.
I mentioned that in MTU, fusion plants are essentially vessels with reactors at the core, surrounded by multi-spectrum photo-voltaic panels, and produce electricity in DC form. Another poster wondered about magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and other methods of extracting energy from the reactor. Heck why not a steam plant.
None of the various methods are exclusive of any other. You can have your MDH loops, and steam plant, and my MSPVP all in the same plant. You still have a problem with waste heat, which needs to be dealt with, but the assumption is that by the time such plants come online, the problem is trivial.
