Well that's the nice part with fusion. Not much happens. the plasma cools down, fusion stops, power goes down and you get lot's of pissed customers because of power shortage. Remember, you only have couple of grams of plasma in Tokamak. If it cools down, it stops reacting. It's not like fission plant with 100+ tons of radioactive fuel making a mess.
