Yes, I appreciate that. In fact, the only problem with gravity
confinement as opposed to inertia or electromagnetic confinement is
that it does not make it really easy to build portable minireactors
that can be switched on and off at will... :-)

But of course the objection is that this may be a secondary point when
we have a large scale reactor available for free not too far from
earth, especially when the limitations and troubles connected with its
utilisation on planetary surfaces and through an atmosphere are
removed.
