What do you mean by new work about fusion reactors? - If you mean new concepts of fusion reactors there is for example my paper about laser-driven aneutronic fusion or the work about the so-called Knotatron from a few years back and I am sure that other concepts are popping up as well.
Prototype reactor is must before making a commercial reactor. Magnetic confinement and Inertial confinement fusion reactors are getting close to the prototype. After successful operation of prototype work will be taken up for commercial fusion reactor. It seems still we have to wait for some time. In the mean time various other ideas on fusion are also being proposed. In any case prototype has to be made on any new concept. But above two ideas are getting most of attention world wide.
Please see the results obtained in different (from tokamak) approach to fusion problem employing HT plasma confinement in linear magnetic traps. One of the leading researchers in the field - Alexei Dmitrievich Beklemishev
