It will be, when it starts. For now this is. It's testing things also needed later for ITER and DEMO.

If DEMO is ever built. My sincerest hope is that Commonwealth Fusion Systems does so well with SPARC and ARC that DEMO never needs to be built. DEMO would be so incredibly expensive to build that it would never produce economical energy.
I hope for the same. But it's nice to know there's a backup in case none of the more "moonshoot" projects pan out.
