  Yes, if the technology allows I could see them retro-fitting the existing fission reactors with fusion ones.
  Initially, I would expect them to be larger until they have been fully developed and then made more compact. The current PWR (Pressurised Water Reactor) design, which is the type being installed in Hinkley Point C, is about 3.5m high, 3m in diameter. While the ITER fusion reactor in development in France will be around 30m high with a 12m diameter.
