The magnets in the device make the plasma be in a doughnut like shape to prevent it from touching the rest and it has active cooling, the parts that are around the plasma are made out of tungsten to dissipate heat. The sustained plasma duration would have to be turned on for as long as a traditional power generation device like a fission reactor or an oil / coal power station.
