The lines on the inside match those of a polywell.
Just thought it was an interesting detail of an excellent movie. Admittedly I had to suspend disbelief for every scene that involved that reactor though. Every. Scene.
It is the right size for a focus fusion device, maybe?
The Dark Knight Rises fusion device
Haha, interesting observation!
They may have google imaged "fusion reactor" and browsed until they found the best looking/sci-fi looking reactor.
It was hilarious every time they mentioned the reactor and what it could do![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
It does in fact seem to be the right size for maybe a modest power generating plant, as I have read somewhere that a 3 meter reactor could generate 100 MW of power.

Looks like the Mirror Fusion Test Facility Magnet wrapped around a Polywell.
