in short,
shut down the magnetic confinement this results
in an discharge of the charge neutral (you look from outside) plasma ( as much (-) and (+) ionisated particles a full ionisated plasma)
so when you discharge a plasma there is _no plasma_ anymore, so the particles ability to move and in consequence to "fuse" is gone,
even that the reactor is held off preasure so nothing except the "fuel" is inside, so there isn´t much "fusion fuel" in the Tokamak,
(TOridialski KAmera MAgniKatuschkin) (the donut chamber)
and there is even no preasure when the supraconducters are offline
extra fuel must be injected by a magnetic valve
system, this is even a critical part to master ..
to get a sustaining reaction rate,
the first ignition in the EU-JET(type Tokamak) had been taken place ca. two years ago,
even the u.s. type of firing laserbeams on a small
probe of "fusion fuel" ( so a pulse reactor ;) )
had been taken place.
